Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of monitoring devices, in particular to a battery status monitor for locomotives. Background Art
[0002] A battery monitor is a device that provides real-time, comprehensive online monitoring and management of power system batteries. It is widely used in the management of power storage batteries in industries such as electricity, communications, transportation, and automotive.
[0003] Currently, there are many battery monitors on the market. By monitoring parameters such as voltage, current, and internal resistance, we can clearly understand the battery's operating status. This means that we can promptly detect battery problems, prevent battery damage, and ensure the normal operation of electric vehicles. It is like giving your electric vehicle a comprehensive physical examination, allowing us to fully understand the battery's health.
[0004] However, because the size of electric vehicle batteries is not the same as that of the battery compartment, workers will stuff fillers such as foam or cardboard into the gap between the battery compartment and the battery to fix the battery in the battery compartment. When encountering bumpy roads during driving, the filler in the battery compartment will also deform with the continuous bumps, causing a gap between the filler and the battery compartment. At this time, the battery will shake in the bumps, causing damage to the battery or disconnection of the circuit. Therefore, a battery status monitor that can be used to monitor the shaking amplitude of the battery in the battery compartment is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a battery status monitor for a locomotive to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above background technology.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a battery status monitor for a locomotive, comprising a battery compartment, wherein the inner wall of the battery compartment is provided with a spring base and an adjusting bolt, and a baffle corresponding to the battery is provided in the battery compartment, a damping slide rod connected to the baffle is provided at the end of the spring base, and a limit spring connected to the baffle and the spring base is sleeved on the outer wall of the damping slide rod, an adjusting nut threadedly connected to the adjusting bolt is slidably installed in the battery compartment, and an alarm is fixedly installed at the end of the adjusting nut, and a sliding block fixedly connected to the baffle is slidably installed on the outer wall of the alarm, and a trigger is installed at the end of the alarm.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding blocks on both sides of the alarm are fixedly connected to the baffle. When the electric vehicle is bumped, its limit spring will absorb the force generated by the bump and shrink. When the absorbed force is too large, the end of the baffle will touch the trigger, causing the alarm to issue an alarm of excessive shaking.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the adjusting bolt is rotatably mounted inside the outer wall of the battery compartment, the adjusting bolt is a hexagon socket bolt, and both ends of the adjusting bolt pass through the outer wall of the battery compartment.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation of the adjusting bolt is made more flexible.
[0010] The utility model is further configured such that a plurality of spring bases are symmetrically installed in the battery compartment, and the damping slide bars at the ends of each group of spring bases are connected to a group of baffles.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the baffle can push the damping slide rod to slide.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that two groups of sliding blocks are symmetrically installed on the outer walls of both sides of the alarm, and the outer wall of the alarm is provided with sliding grooves corresponding to the sliding blocks.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the distance between the baffle and the alarm can be changed by the sliding block.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the distance between the end of the trigger and the baffle is 10 mm.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the triggering distance between the baffle and the trigger can be fixed.
[0016] The utility model is further configured such that a fixing rod slidably connected to the battery compartment is installed at the end of the alarm, and the installation position of the fixing rod is staggered with the adjusting nut.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the alarm is made more stable and no angular deflection occurs due to the rotation of the adjusting nut.
[0018] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] The utility model is provided with a baffle that fits with the battery, and is fixedly connected to the baffle through sliding blocks on both sides of the alarm. When the electric vehicle is bumped, its limit spring will absorb the force generated by the bump and shrink. When the absorbed force is too large, the end of the baffle will touch the trigger, causing the alarm to issue an alarm of excessive shaking. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0026] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.
[0027] Battery condition monitors for locomotives, such as Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, it includes a battery compartment 1 and a baffle 2. The inner wall of the battery compartment 1 is provided with a spring base 3 and an adjusting bolt 4, which can provide support for the baffle 2. A baffle 2 corresponding to the battery is provided in the battery compartment 1. The baffle 2 is installed around the battery to fix the battery position. The end of the spring base 3 is provided with a damping slide bar 5 connected to the baffle 2. When the baffle 2 squeezes the damping slide bar 5, the damping slide bar 5 can slide up and down. The outer wall of the damping slide bar 5 is provided with a limit spring 6 connected to the baffle 2 and the spring base 3. The limit spring 6 will absorb the movement of the baffle 2. Thrust, an adjusting nut 7 threadedly connected to the adjusting bolt 4 is slidably installed in the battery compartment 1, and the adjusting nut 7 can adjust the distance between it and the inner wall of the battery compartment 1, making the installation more flexible, and an alarm 8 is fixedly installed on the end of the adjusting nut 7, the alarm 8 will send out an alarm signal, and a sliding block 9 fixedly connected to the baffle 2 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the alarm 8, and the distance between the baffle 2 and the alarm 8 can be limited by the sliding block 9, and a trigger 81 is installed on the end of the alarm 8, and when the trigger 81 is triggered by the baffle 2, the alarm 8 will sound an alarm.
[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adjusting bolt 4 is rotatably installed in the outer wall of the battery compartment 1, and the adjusting bolt 4 is a hexagonal bolt, and both ends of the adjusting bolt 4 pass through the outer wall of the battery compartment 1, which makes the installation of the adjusting bolt 4 more convenient.
[0029] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2There are multiple groups of spring bases 3 symmetrically installed in the battery compartment 1, and the damping slide rods 5 at the ends of each group of spring bases 3 are connected to a group of baffles 2. The damping slide rods 5 will move according to the shaking of the baffles 2, providing certain support and allowing the baffles 2 to move slightly in the battery compartment 1.
[0030] See also Figure 4 There are two groups of sliding blocks 9 symmetrically installed on the outer walls of both sides of the alarm 8, and the outer wall of the alarm 8 is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the sliding blocks 9, so that the sliding blocks 9 can slide on both sides of the alarm 8, so that the baffle 2 drives the sliding blocks 9 to slide when it moves, thereby triggering the alarm 8.
[0031] See also Figure 4 The distance between the end of the trigger 81 and the baffle 2 is 10 mm, which can ensure that the alarm 8 is triggered when the shaking causes the baffle 2 to move more than 10 mm.
[0032] See also Figure 4 A fixing rod 10 is installed at the end of the alarm 8, which is slidably connected to the battery compartment 1, and the installation position of the fixing rod 10 is staggered with the adjusting nut 7, so that the position of the alarm 8 is fixed during the installation process to prevent the adjusting bolt 4 from driving the adjusting nut 7 to cause the angle of the alarm 8 to deflect when installing the adjusting bolt 4.
[0033] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when the battery status monitor needs to be used, the adjusting bolt 4 at the bottom end of the battery compartment 1 is rotated, and the adjusting nut 7 is driven by the adjusting bolt 4, so that the adjusting nut 7 starts to pull the alarm 8 toward the inner wall of the battery compartment 1, causing the alarm 8 to pull the baffle 2 toward the battery compartment 1 through the sliding block 9, so that the distance between the baffles 2 is expanded. In this process, since the baffle 2 slides toward the battery compartment 1, the baffle 2 will be restricted by the damping slide bar 5 to ensure the stability of the baffle 2 when sliding. At the same time, the baffle 2 will squeeze the limit spring 6. When the distance between the baffles 2 is adjusted, the battery is placed between the baffles 2.
[0034] Then, the adjusting bolt 4 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the alarm 8 begins to reset. At this time, the baffle 2 will also begin to lose the tension given by the alarm 8 as the alarm 8 moves. At this time, the limit spring 6 will push the baffle 2 toward the battery until the baffle 2 and the battery are attached. At this time, a filler is placed between the baffle 2 and the battery compartment 1 to fix the battery.
[0035] When the electric vehicle encounters bumps during driving, the baffle 2 will cooperate with the filler and the battery compartment 1 to limit and support the battery. When the filler is deformed and loses its effect, and the battery shakes too much, the battery will squeeze the baffle 2, causing the baffle 2 to slide toward the trigger 81. When the shaking amplitude is too large, the baffle 2 will squeeze the trigger 81, causing the alarm 8 to sound an alarm and start to alarm. At this time, the user can promptly discover that the battery is shaking a lot, and the user can promptly replace the filler.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not limitations on the present invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
