[0024] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present utility model, the present utility model is described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0025] An improved battery status indicator is improved on the basis of a conventional battery status indicator and is installed on an electric eyelet of a conventional battery housing 200 .

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 5, the battery status indicator includes an indicator body 100, and the indicator body 100 includes a color display rod 1, and the color display rod 1 includes a mounting head portion 11 and a rod body 12, wherein the mounting head portion 11 is connected to a first end of the rod body 12, and the rod body 12 is arranged obliquely relative to the axis of the mounting head portion 11. The connection structure between the mounting head portion 11 and the rod body 12 of the above-mentioned color display rod 1 adopts the same connection structure as the conventional color display rod 1, and the first end of the mounting head portion 11 integrally connected to the rod body 12 in the color display rod 1 is taken as an example for description in this embodiment.

[0027] Furthermore, the above-mentioned mounting head portion 11 has the same structure as the head position of the existing conventional color display rod 1, that is, the cross-section of the above-mentioned mounting head portion 11 is circular, and an observation port is provided on the first end face of the mounting head portion 11, and a transparent portion 6 is embedded in the observation port. The transparent portion 6 is a transparent sheet made of transparent material, and observation is performed through the observation port in this embodiment.

[0028] Furthermore, the first end surface of the mounting head portion 11 is provided with a marking point 5, that is, the marking point 5 can also be provided at the transparent portion 6, and the marking point is used to mark the tilt direction of the shaft 12, for example, Figure 2 The marking point 5 is shown at the location of the mounting head portion 11. It can be seen that the rod 12 is arranged tilted in the direction away from its first end toward the direction corresponding to the marking point 5, so that the tilt direction of the rod 12 can still be known as a reference point when the rod 12 is inserted into the electric eye hole, so as to facilitate subsequent assembly; in addition, the marking point 5 can also be set at the first end face of the above-mentioned mounting sleeve 2, that is, the end in the same direction as the first end of the mounting head portion 11. Preferably, the above-mentioned marking point 5 can be a convex part, a concave part or a pattern. In this embodiment, the marking point 5 is taken as a convex point for explanation; in addition, if the marking point 5 is a pattern, the marking point 5 can be a geometric pattern such as a star, a circle, a triangle or a diamond, or a conventional pattern such as an animal pattern or a plant pattern, and any pattern with a logo is acceptable.

[0029] Furthermore, the above-mentioned indicator body 100 also includes a mounting sleeve 2, which adopts a conventional mounting sleeve. The mounting sleeve 2 is sleeved outside the mounting head part 11, and the two are coaxially arranged. An existing conventional mounting structure, such as a snap-on connection, an interference fit, etc., can be adopted between the two; the mounting head part 11 is fixedly mounted at the electric eye hole of the battery housing 200 through the mounting sleeve 2, and the assembly structure between the mounting sleeve 2 and the electric eye hole adopts the same assembly structure of the conventional indicator body 100, so it will not be described in detail.

[0030] As a preferred mode, the angle between the axis of the above-mentioned shaft 12 and the axis of the mounting head part 11 is 4°-6°, and preferably, the angle is 4° to prevent the shaft 12 from touching the components inside the battery casing 200 corresponding to the electric eye hole, such as a bus bar or an edge electrode.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned indicator body 100 also includes a ball box 4, which is installed at the second end of the shaft 12. The same assembly structure as the conventional indicator body 100 is adopted between the two, such as snap-on connection, etc., so it is not described in detail; here, when the ball box 4 is installed on the shaft 12, the ball box 4 and the shaft 12 are on the same axis, that is, the above-mentioned ball box 4 is also tilted relative to the aforementioned mounting head part 11, so as to prevent the ball box 4 from touching the components inside the battery housing 200 corresponding to the electric eye hole.

[0032] The utility model provides an improved battery status indicator, such as Figure 4 As shown, during assembly, when the electric eyelet of the battery housing 200 is close to the bus 41 on the right side inside it, the right side here refers to the Figure 4 The orientation shown in the figure is the reference direction and the right hand side is the right side. Thus, when the indicator body 100 is inserted into the electric eye hole, the inclination direction of the rod body 12 is in the direction away from the mounting head part 11 and away from the right side bus. At this time, the marking point 5 is located at the mounting head part 11 and away from the right side bus 41, so that the rod body 12 avoids the right side bus.

[0033] The utility model provides an improved battery status indicator, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the electric eyelet of the battery housing 200 is close to the side pole ear 42 on the left side inside thereof, the left side here refers to the side pole ear 42 on the left side inside the battery housing 200. Figure 5 The orientation shown in the figure is the reference direction and the left-hand side is the left side. When the indicator body 100 is inserted into the electric eye hole, the inclination direction of the shaft 12 is along the direction away from the mounting head part 11 and along the direction away from the side pole ear 42 on the left side. At this time, the marking point 5 is located at the mounting head part 11 and along the position away from the side pole ear 42 on the left side, so that the shaft 12 avoids the side pole ear 42 on the left side.

[0034] It should be noted that the indicator body 100 can also be installed at other positions where the electric eyelet is adjacent to the corresponding components, and is not limited to the above two situations.

[0035] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
