[0002] In the battery manufacturing industry, the temporary storage and safe management of batteries are crucial for ensuring smooth production processes and stable product quality. Especially in battery warehouses, temperature monitoring of the battery surface is of paramount importance due to various factors such as potential chemical reactions within the batteries themselves, changes in storage conditions, and stacking methods.
[0003] Currently, many battery manufacturing companies have adopted thermal imagers as a tool for monitoring temperature in battery warehouses. Thermal imagers can capture and display the temperature distribution on the surface of objects in real time through non-contact measurement.
[0004] The monitoring points of existing thermal imagers are relatively fixed, meaning that their field of view and monitoring range are preset and limited to a specific area. In battery warehouses, batteries are usually stacked on multiple shelves. Fixed monitoring points cannot reach between multiple shelves for monitoring, resulting in frequent blind spots and failing to fully cover the temperature monitoring needs of all battery surfaces in the warehouse.

[0028] Example 1
[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 A thermal imager for battery processing includes: a thermal imager main unit 100, which, as the core component of a thermal imaging system, can capture and display the temperature distribution during battery processing, helping to detect temperature anomalies in a timely manner and prevent potential safety hazards; a mounting base 200, positioned above the thermal imager main unit 100, with two symmetrically arranged ear plates mounted on its top, and the mounting base 200 mounted on the ceiling wall of the battery storage room via the ear plates; and two folding arms 300, one end of which is mounted on... The thermal imager main unit 100 is located below the mounting base 200. The thermal imager main unit 100 is positioned to move away from or closer to the adjustment base 400. The two folding arms 300 facilitate flexible operation and adjustment of the position of the thermal imager main unit 100 in confined spaces. The connecting base 500 is located at the bottom of the adjustment base 400. The thermal imager main unit 100 is mounted on the connecting base 500 and is configured to rotate on the connecting base 500.
[0030] Mounting base 200 includes: a first power source 201, which is installed inside the mounting base 200. The power source of the first power source 201 is connected to the folding arm 300. The first power source 201 provides power to the folding arm 300, driving the folding arm 300 to rotate as a whole. The position of the thermal imager host 100 can be adjusted to meet different detection needs.
[0031] The folding arm 300 includes a second power source 301, which is installed on one of the two folding arms 300. The power shaft of the second power source 301 is connected to the other folding arm 300. The second power source 301 drives the movement of the other folding arm 300 to realize the unfolding and retraction operation of the folding arm 300, further expanding the detection range and flexibility of the thermal imager host 100.
[0032] The adjusting seat 400 includes: a winding wheel 402, disposed within the adjusting seat 400; a lifting rope 403, one end wound around the winding wheel 402, the other end mounted on an assembly plate 404, and a connecting seat 500 mounted on the bottom of the assembly plate 404; a third power source 401, mounted on the adjusting seat 400, the power shaft of the third power source 401 being connected to the winding wheel 402, serving as a height adjustment mechanism for the thermal imager host 100. By adjusting the length of the lifting rope 403, the vertical lifting and lowering of the thermal imager host 100 can be controlled, allowing the thermal imager host 100 to be inserted between battery racks for temperature monitoring; the winding wheel 402 is used to wind and unwind the lifting rope 403, achieving precise height adjustment of the thermal imager host 100, and the design of the winding wheel 402 makes the adjustment process more stable and reliable; the third power source 401 provides power to the winding wheel 402, enabling the winding and unwinding operation of the lifting rope 403 and precisely adjusting the height of the thermal imager host 100.
[0033] The connector 500 includes a fourth power source 501, which is installed on some parts of the connector 500. The power shaft of the fourth power source 501 is connected to the thermal imager host 100. The fourth power source 501 provides rotational power to the thermal imager host 100, enabling the thermal imager host 100 to swing, which facilitates all-round and multi-angle detection of temperature distribution during battery processing.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the thermal imager host 100 includes: a light source 101, which is installed on the thermal imager host 100 to provide auxiliary illumination for the thermal imager host 100, especially in low-light environments, which can improve the clarity and accuracy of thermal imaging; and a zoom lens 102, which is installed on the lens of the thermal imager host 100. Through the zoom function, the detection range and resolution of the thermal imager host 100 can be adjusted to meet the detection requirements of different distances and accuracies.
[0036] During use, the thermal imager mounting base 200 is fixed to the top wall of the battery storage room via two symmetrical lugs. The power to the thermal imager main unit 100 is turned on, and the second power source 301 is activated to drive the folding arm 300 to extend or retract, adjusting the position of the thermal imager main unit 100. Using the first power source 201, the position of the thermal imager main unit 100 is further adjusted by controlling the overall rotation of the folding arm 300 to meet different inspection needs and ensure flexible operation even in confined spaces. The third power source 401 is activated, driving the rotation of the winding wheel 402 to extend and retract the hoisting rope 403, controlling the vertical lifting and lowering of the thermal imager main unit 100. This allows the thermal imager main unit 100 to be inserted between battery racks for temperature monitoring, ensuring the capture of detailed temperature distribution during battery processing. The four power sources 501 provide rotational power to the thermal imager host 100, enabling it to swing on the connecting base 500. According to the detection requirements, the angle and rotation direction of the thermal imager host 100 are adjusted to detect the temperature distribution during battery processing from all angles and directions. After adjusting the position and angle, the detection function of the thermal imager host 100 is activated, capturing and displaying the temperature distribution during battery processing. The thermal imaging image is observed in real time, abnormal temperature areas are detected promptly, and relevant data is recorded for subsequent analysis and processing. In low-light environments, the light source 101 on the thermal imager host 100 is turned on to improve the clarity and accuracy of the thermal imaging. As needed, the detection range and resolution of the thermal imager host 100 are adjusted via the zoom lens 102 to meet the detection requirements of different distances and accuracies.
[0037] In summary, compared with existing technologies, it has the following beneficial effects:
[0038] By adopting the folding arm 300 design, the thermal imager can flexibly adjust its horizontal position. Through the design of the winding wheel 402 and the hoisting rope 403 in the adjustment seat 400, the thermal imager host 100 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction to reach into different areas of the battery warehouse for monitoring. The unfolding and retracting operation of the folding arm 300 allows the thermal imager host 100 to easily pass through the narrow space between the shelves, effectively reducing the monitoring blind spots.
[0039] Through the coordinated operation of multiple power sources, precise control of the position, height, and angle of the thermal imager host 100 is achieved, enabling the thermal imager to adapt to battery warehouses of different sizes and different shelving layouts. It has strong adaptability and flexibility, and can promptly detect and warn of potential safety hazards such as fires and explosions.
