Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery monitoring technology, and more specifically, to a terminal connector for battery monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] In power storage systems, batteries are critical components, and their performance and health directly affect the reliability and stability of the entire system. Traditional battery management systems often rely on periodic manual inspections and offline testing to assess battery status. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also struggles to capture real-time changes in battery performance. Especially in emergencies, the inability to obtain timely battery status information may lead to system failure or safety accidents. Terminal connectors, acting as a bridge between the battery and the power system, undertake the dual tasks of current and signal transmission.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN204142775U discloses a resistor fuse connector for the terminal of a storage battery, comprising a high-resistance, insulating protective sleeve and two metal tube connectors. By using its high internal resistance, the possibility of the fuse blowing is reduced, which can effectively prevent the storage battery from being discharged at high current or short-circuited, thereby preventing the storage battery from generating sparks and causing an explosion.

[0004] In the aforementioned design of a resistor fuse connector for the battery terminal, the high-resistance resistor is installed inside the insulating protective sleeve. As can be seen from its design structure, the high-resistance resistor, i.e., the metal film resistor, is not easy to remove and install inside the insulating protective sleeve. The metal electrical structure itself is a vulnerable part, and setting a metal film resistor that is not easy to remove and install makes it inconvenient to replace after damage. At the same time, the existing connector and the battery terminal may experience loosening due to vibration or thermal expansion and contraction, which affects the connection effect.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1.

[0015] 2.
