Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a battery detection tool, in particular to a battery online detection conversion cap. Background Art

[0002] In modern industrial and residential facilities, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems are critical power supply equipment. Their stable operation is directly related to the continuous power supply to key equipment such as communications, automatic control systems, and safety shut-off valves, and is crucial for maintaining production safety and continuity. In gas supply systems in particular, UPS reliability is directly related to the power supply to gas pipeline monitoring, emergency shut-off devices, and communication systems. A power outage can cause serious safety accidents and economic losses.

[0003] UPS maintenance is fundamental to ensuring its long-term stable operation. Testing the capacity and performance of battery packs is a core component of this maintenance work. Batteries, as the energy storage unit of a UPS system, provide emergency power during utility power outages. Their performance directly impacts the duration and stability of the UPS's power supply. Therefore, regularly testing battery capacity and performance, and promptly identifying and replacing faulty batteries, are crucial measures to ensure UPS system reliability. Currently, battery testing often utilizes online UPS battery discharge meters to test battery capacity and performance in real time, thereby identifying faulty batteries and ensuring reliable operation of the uninterruptible power supply equipment, ensuring a stable and long-lasting power supply for communications, automatic control, and safety shut-off valves in production.

[0004] However, routine UPS maintenance presents numerous technical challenges. First, the battery poles are covered with insulating covers, and the wire clamps of the UPS battery discharger cannot contact the battery poles through the test holes in the insulating covers, making it difficult to test the batteries without damaging the insulating covers. When using two test probes for testing, the probes cannot be fixed to the battery poles, requiring assistance from other inspectors. A single inspector cannot perform the test alone, resulting in low testing efficiency and a high number of inspectors. Furthermore, battery units are typically arranged closely within the cabinet, with limited space between layers. This limits the use of traditional wire clamps or probe testing tools, making them difficult to operate and prone to accidentally touching the metal frame, posing a serious safety hazard of electric shock and short circuits. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a battery online detection conversion cap to solve the problems of low efficiency and difficult operation in traditional detection devices.

[0006] The utility model is implemented as follows: a battery online detection conversion cap, the structure of which includes a protective cap covered on the insulating protective cover of the battery pole, a conductive stud inserted in the protective cap, and a throat clamp arranged on the outside of the protective cap; the protective cap includes a side cover sleeved on the outside of the insulating protective cover, a top cover arranged on the side cover, and a centering nut arranged on the top cover, a through hole is opened in the middle of the top cover, and the through hole is aligned with the centering nut; the conductive stud includes a pointed cone portion at the lower end, a stud arranged on the pointed cone portion, and a stud handle arranged on the stud, and the stud is inserted in the centering nut.

[0007] Furthermore, the throat clamp includes a clamp band sleeved on the outside of the side cover and a throat clamp handle for adjusting the clamp band.

[0008] Furthermore, a locking nut is provided on the conductive stud.

[0009] Furthermore, the top cover protrudes upward to accommodate the tapered portion.

[0010] Furthermore, the distance from the lower end of the centering nut to the upper end of the side cover is greater than the height of the tapered portion.

[0011] Furthermore, the centering nut is arranged on the inner top of the top cover.

[0012] Furthermore, the design length of the stud should ensure that it can be connected to the clamp when the pointed cone portion contacts the pole.

[0013] Furthermore, the protective cap, the stud handle and the throat clamp handle are all made of insulating materials.

[0014] The utility model realizes the rapid and convenient establishment of electrical connection with the battery pole without damaging the battery insulating cover by combining the conductive stud and the protective cover cap, simplifies the detection process, enables the detection personnel to complete the detection task independently without the assistance of other personnel, and thus significantly improves the detection efficiency.

[0015] The conductive stud of the utility model increases the effective length of the pole, solves the problem that the wire clamp and the probe are difficult to connect with the pole, makes it easier to clamp and fix the wire clamp on the conductive stud, can be used in environments with limited space, and avoids the space limitation problem encountered by traditional detection tools during operation.

[0016] The protective cover cap, stud handle and throat clamp handle of the utility model are made of insulating materials, which effectively prevents the risks of electric shock and short circuit that may occur during the detection process and improves the safety of the detection process.

[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the utility model includes a protective cap 4 covering an insulating protective cover 3 of a pole 2 of a battery 1 , a conductive stud 5 vertically passing through the protective cap 4 , and a throat clamp 6 sleeved on the outside of the protective cap 4 .

[0025] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the conductive stud 5 includes a tapered portion 51 at its lower end, a stud 52 disposed on the tapered portion 51, and a stud handle 53 disposed on the stud 52. The tapered portion 51 is provided at the lower end of the conductive stud 5. This tapered portion 51 is used to contact the terminal 2 through the small opening of the protective cap 4 when the opening is small. The stud handle 53 is made of insulating material to prevent accidental contact with the metal casing.

[0026] A locking nut 7 is provided on the conductive stud 5. The locking nut 7 is located between the protective cap 4 of the conductive stud 5 and the stud handle 53. The locking nut 7 is used to tighten the locking nut 7 on the top of the protective cap 4 after the conductive stud 5 contacts the pole 2, so that the lower end of the conductive stud 4 is in close contact with the battery pole 2, thereby avoiding the conductive stud 5 and the battery pole 2 from being offset during the inspection process, resulting in poor contact, false connection heating, long-term loosening and other adverse effects. The locking nut 7 is made of insulating material. The design length of the stud 52 should ensure that it can be connected to the wire clamp when the pointed cone 51 contacts the pole 2, that is, when the pointed cone 51 of the conductive stud 5 contacts the pole 2, there is enough space in the section of the stud 52 located above the protective cap 4 to allow it to be connected to the operating position of the wire clamp of the UPS battery discharger.

[0027] The protective cap 4 includes a side cover 41 that fits over the outer side of the insulating protective cap 3, a top cover 42 mounted on the side cover 41, and a centering nut 43 mounted on the top cover 42. A through hole is provided in the center of the top cover 42 to mate with the centering nut 43. The conductive stud 5 is inserted through the top cover 42 and the centering nut 43. In this embodiment, the centering nut 43 is located on the inner top of the top cover 41. Alternatively, the centering nut 43 can be located on the outer top of the top cover 41 as needed. The top cover 42 is raised upward to accommodate the tapered portion 51. In this embodiment, the top cover 42 is an arc-shaped projection. The distance from the lower end of the centering nut 43 to the upper end of the side cover 41 is greater than the length of the tapered portion 51 to accommodate the tapered portion of the conductive stud 5 and facilitate its securement to the protective cap 4. The side cover 41 and top cover 42 are made of a flexible insulating material, and the centering nut 43 can also be made of an insulating material.

[0028] A test hole is provided at the top of the insulating cover 3 for measuring the voltage of the battery 1. A centering nut 43 aligns the conductive stud 5 and the test hole in the insulating cover 3, ensuring that the lower end of the conductive stud 5 passes through the test hole in the top of the insulating cover 3 and contacts the upper end of the pole 2.

[0029] The side cover 41 of the protective cap 4 is adapted to the shape and size of the outer wall of the insulating protective cover 3. In this embodiment, the outer wall of the insulating protective cover 3 is in the shape of a hexagonal prism, and the side cover 41 of the protective cap 4 is a hexagonal tubular sleeve that fits therewith. The outer wall of the insulating protective cover 3 can also be in the shape of a cylinder or a rectangular parallelepiped, and the side cover 41 can be a circular or square tubular sleeve that fits therewith.

[0030] The throat clamp 6 comprises a band 61 sleeved on the outside of the side cover 41 of the protective cap 4 and a throat clamp handle 62 for adjusting the band 61. The throat clamp handle 62 is made of insulating material. The insulating material is rubber or plastic.

[0031] The UPS power supply is composed of multiple batteries 1 connected in series. The multiple batteries 1 are connected by connecting wires. A terminal is provided at each end of the connecting wire. One terminal of the connecting wire is connected to a pole of one battery, and the other terminal is connected to a pole of an adjacent battery 1. The insulating cover 3 is provided on the pole 2 section above the terminal.

[0032] Working Principle: Place the protective cap 4 over the insulating cover 3 of the battery pole 2. Then, place the strap 61 of the hose clamp 6 over the lower portion of the side cover 41 of the protective cap 4. Turn the hose clamp handle 62 to tighten the strap 61, locking the protective cap 4 to the insulating cover 3 for secure positioning. The centering nut 43 on the protective cap 4 ensures that the conductive stud 5 is aligned with the top test hole of the insulating cover 3 on the battery pole 2. Then, turn the stud handle 53 to pass the lower end of the tapered portion 51 of the conductive stud 5 through the test hole of the insulating cover 3, ensuring full contact with the pole 2. Then, turn the locking nut 7 onto the protective cap 4 to secure the conductive stud 5, ensuring close contact with the battery pole 2 and preventing adverse effects such as poor contact, overheating due to loose connections, and prolonged loosening that could affect testing. After securing the conductive stud 5, clamp the wire clamp (not shown) of the UPS battery discharger to the stud 52 to perform online battery testing.
