Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket protection technology, specifically a socket protection device for flexible configuration of multi-box batteries. Background Technology

[0002] A multi-pack battery refers to a battery system composed of multiple battery packs. Each battery pack contains several individual batteries, a housing, a battery management system, and related installation components. A flexible multi-pack battery socket is a socket that integrates multiple connection and protection functions. It is mainly used in multi-pack battery systems to ensure that the socket can adapt and provide a stable power connection when the number of battery packs changes.

[0003] In systems with flexible configuration of multiple battery compartments, the batteries need to be installed in separate compartments according to requirements. As a result, there are situations where the sockets are exposed when no batteries are installed. This exposure makes the sockets susceptible to the intrusion of contaminants such as moisture and dust, which can affect the performance and safety of the sockets. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a protective device for a flexible multi-battery socket, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that in a flexible multi-battery system, since the batteries need to be installed in separate boxes according to requirements, there is a situation where the socket is exposed when no batteries are installed. This exposure makes the socket susceptible to the intrusion of contaminants such as moisture and dust, thereby affecting the performance and safety of the socket.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a protective device for a flexible configuration socket for multiple battery boxes, including a socket body, a snap nut fixedly connected to the outside of the socket body, a guide sleeve snapped onto the outside of the snap nut, a connecting post threadedly connected to the top of the snap nut, a protective cover installed on the top of the connecting post, and an elastic sealing body installed on the inner side of the protective cover.

[0006] Preferably, there are two snap-fit ​​nuts, and the two snap-fit ​​nuts are symmetrically distributed.

[0007] Preferably, the guide sleeve has a through hole on its outside, and both ends of the connecting post pass through the guide sleeve and extend to the outside of the guide sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, the protective cover has a connecting hole on its exterior, the connecting post penetrates the protective cover and extends to the inside of the connecting hole, and the connecting post is threaded with a bolt.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic seal is made of an elastic material, such as rubber or silicone.

[0010] Preferably, the socket body is externally fixedly connected to multiple mounting bases, and the multiple mounting bases are arranged in a rectangular array.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0012] First, this utility model secures the guide sleeve inside the snap nut, aligning the through hole on the outside of the guide sleeve with the hole in the snap nut. Then, a connecting post is screwed into the guide sleeve, connecting the guide sleeve and snap nut. The connecting post then aligns the connecting hole on the outside of the protective cover with the connecting post, allowing one end of the connecting post to pass through the connecting hole on the outside of the protective cover, supporting the protective cover. At this point, the protective cover and the inner elastic sealing body cover the top of the socket body, sealing and protecting the socket body and preventing external impurities and moisture from entering. Finally, by aligning the bolt with the connecting post in the connecting hole on the outside of the protective cover and rotating the bolt with a wrench, the protective cover is secured, achieving the effect of pressing the elastic sealing body and completing the installation of the entire protective cover. When fewer batteries are installed, simply rotating the bolt allows the protective cover to be removed for battery installation, thus achieving the effect of ensuring sealing and protection while facilitating battery installation.

[0013] Secondly, this utility model uses bolts to tightly connect the connecting column and the protective cover together, ensuring the stability of the protective cover. At the same time, it compresses the elastic sealing body, so that the elastic sealing body can produce appropriate deformation when subjected to pressure, in order to fill the tiny gap between the socket body and the protective cover, thereby ensuring the tightness of the protection.
