Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure belongs to the technical field of UPS systems, and particularly relates to a UPS battery temperature monitoring device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous progress of technology and the continuous deepening of applications, the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system plays a crucial role in modern life and business. The UPS system ensures the continuity and stability of equipment operation by providing stable power supply. Its performance and reliability are affected by many factors. Among them, the battery is the core component of the UPS system. To ensure the continuous and stable operation (normal function) of the UPS system, it is necessary to at least ensure that the UPS battery can work properly. Usually, the temperature of the battery is a characteristic index reflecting whether the battery fails. If the temperature of the battery is abnormal, the UPS system cannot provide stable power supply, which will further create obstacles to the normal operation of key equipment and affect the continuity of production. How to ensure that the staff can promptly detect the abnormal temperature of the battery so that the staff can repair the faulty battery is an important issue facing the R & D personnel. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This disclosure proposes a UPS battery temperature monitoring device to solve the above technical problems.

[0004] A UPS battery temperature monitoring device includes: a PT100 thermal resistor for detecting the temperature of the battery in the UPS power cabinet; a four-channel temperature controller for sending out a digital alarm signal based on the detected battery temperature; a wireless transmission module for transmitting the digital alarm signal to the audible and visual alarm; an air switch for connecting the power supply to supply power to the four-channel temperature controller and the wireless transmission module; an audible and visual alarm for emitting sound and light to remind the staff to repair the faulty battery in time; a temperature-sensitive color-changing patch attached to the battery.

[0005] In some embodiments, the wireless transmission module includes a wireless transmission radar, and the audible and visual alarm includes a wireless signal receiving module. The digital alarm signal is wirelessly transmitted to the wireless signal receiving module through the wireless transmission radar, so that the audible and visual alarm emits sound and light.

[0006] In some embodiments, one end of the air switch is electrically connected to the power supply through a three-hole socket, and the other end of the air switch is respectively electrically connected to the four-channel temperature controller and a single-pole socket. A wireless transmission power adapter is plugged into the single-pole socket, and the wireless transmission power adapter is electrically connected to the wireless transmission module.

[0007] In some embodiments, the four-channel temperature controller is electrically connected to the wireless transmission module so that the digital alarm signal is transmitted to the wireless transmission module.

[0008] In some embodiments, the air switch, the wireless transmission module, and the single-pole socket are fixed on a rail disposed inside the electric control box.

[0009] In some embodiments, the audible and visual alarm is disposed on the electric control box, and the audible and visual alarm is powered by a UPS battery.

[0010] Advantages of the present disclosure: In the present disclosure, the four-channel temperature controller detects the temperature of the UPS battery using a PT100 thermal resistor. If the temperature exceeds 70 degrees Celsius (for example), the four-channel temperature controller sends a digital alarm signal to the wireless transmission module, and then wirelessly transmits it through a wireless transmission radar to the wireless signal receiving module inside the audible and visual alarm. Based on the digital alarm signal, the audible and visual alarm reminds the staff to repair the faulty battery in a timely manner through sound and light, ensuring stable power supply provided by the UPS system. The staff opens the UPS power cabinet and repairs the faulty battery targeted based on the position of the PT100 thermal resistor and the discoloration degree of the temperature-sensitive color-changing patch.

[0018] In all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific values should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0019] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the UPS battery temperature monitoring device includes: a PT100 thermal resistor 1 for detecting the temperature of the battery 11 inside the UPS power supply 10; a four-channel temperature controller 2 for issuing a digital alarm signal based on the detected battery temperature; a wireless transmission module 3 for delivering the digital alarm signal to the audible and visual alarm 13; a circuit breaker 8 for turning on the power supply to supply power to the four-channel temperature controller 2 and the wireless transmission module; an audible and visual alarm 13 for emitting sound and light to remind the staff to repair the faulty battery in time; a temperature-sensitive color-changing patch 12 attached to the battery.

[0020] In some embodiments, the wireless transmission module includes a wireless transmission radar 4, and the audible and visual alarm includes a wireless signal receiving module (not shown in the figure). The digital alarm signal is wirelessly transmitted to the wireless signal receiving module through the wireless transmission radar, so that the audible and visual alarm emits sound and light.

[0021] In some embodiments, one end of the circuit breaker is electrically connected to the power supply through a three-hole socket 9, and the other end of the circuit breaker is respectively electrically connected to the four-channel temperature controller and a single-pole socket (not shown in the figure). A wireless transmission power adapter 5 is plugged into the single-pole socket, and the wireless transmission power adapter is electrically connected to the wireless transmission module. The wireless transmission power adapter has overload protection, short-circuit protection, and overheat protection functions to ensure the long-term use of the wireless transmission module.

[0022] In some embodiments, the four-channel temperature controller is electrically connected to the wireless transmission module so that the digital alarm signal is transmitted to the wireless transmission module.

[0023] In some embodiments, the circuit breaker, the wireless transmission module, and the single-pole socket are fixed on a guide rail 6 provided inside the electric control box 7.

[0024] In some embodiments, the audible and visual alarm is arranged on the electric control box 7, and the audible and visual alarm is powered by the UPS battery.

[0025] As Figure 1As shown, there are 12 batteries in the UPS power cabinet, and each battery is pasted with a thermosensitive color-changing patch. The 12 batteries are arranged in three rows and four columns. A PT100 thermal resistor, that is, a temperature sensor, is set beside the batteries. When the four-channel temperature controller detects that the temperature of a battery is greater than or equal to 70 degrees Celsius by means of the PT100 thermal resistor, the four-channel temperature controller outputs a digital alarm signal, which is sent to the wireless transmission module. The wireless transmission module forwards the digital alarm signal to the wireless signal receiving module in the audible and visual alarm through the wireless transmission radar. Based on the digital alarm signal, the audible and visual alarm reminds the staff in the form of sound and light that there is a fault with the batteries in the UPS power cabinet. Among them, the power supply powers the four-channel temperature controller and the wireless transmission module through a three-hole socket, and the audible and visual alarm is powered by the UPS battery. One end of the three-hole socket is electrically connected to one end of the air switch, and the other end of the air switch is respectively electrically connected to the four-channel temperature controller and a single-pole socket. The wireless transmission power adapter is plugged into the single-pole socket, and the wireless transmission power adapter then powers the wireless transmission module. The main function of the wireless transmission power adapter is to protect the wireless transmission module and ensure that the wireless transmission module can work stably for a long time.

[0026] The staff go to the site, open the UPS power cabinet, measure the batteries based on the position of the PT100 thermal resistor and the discoloration degree of the thermosensitive color-changing patch. After confirmation, repair the faulty battery.

[0027] Please note that the reader is now supposed such an application scenario. If currently, one is using a laptop for work normally, and the power supply of the laptop at this moment is through the normal power supply of the power supply company. However, suddenly there is a power outage, which triggers the UPS system to supply power to the laptop. There are usually many batteries. Referring to the power batteries of new energy vehicles, multiple batteries of the UPS become the power supply. Whether it is through the normal power supply of the power supply company or through the UPS system for power supply, this set of UPS battery temperature monitoring device monitors the batteries in the UPS system 24 hours a day. When the four-channel circuit controller detects that the temperature of the battery is greater than or equal to 70 degrees Celsius by means of the PT100 thermal resistor (temperature sensor), it will remind the staff to go to the site in time to repair the faulty battery through the audible and visual alarm.

[0028] When the staff successfully complete the repair of the faulty battery, the UPS system normally supplies power to the critical electrical equipment, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment and avoiding equipment damage.
