Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of UPS battery technology, specifically a UPS battery testing device. Background Technology

[0002] UPS batteries are the core energy storage components of uninterruptible power supply systems, primarily responsible for providing temporary power during mains power outages. Currently, valve-regulated lead-acid batteries are the mainstream choice, featuring maintenance-free operation and leak-proof sealing. They store and release electrical energy through a chemical reaction between internal lead plates and sulfuric acid electrolyte.

[0003] In existing technologies, as the number of charge and discharge cycles increases, UPS batteries may experience abnormal voltage distribution and increased gas production due to aging. Eventually, the increased internal pressure can cause the casing to rupture, forming a bulge. However, there are usually many UPS batteries installed in the computer room, making it difficult for staff to check the bulging UPS batteries in a timely manner. If the bulging UPS batteries are used continuously, they are prone to breaking the sealant, leading to electrolyte leakage and short circuits. Therefore, a UPS battery detection device is needed to meet people's needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a UPS battery detection device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when a large number of UPS batteries are installed in a UPS room, it is inconvenient for staff to check the bulging batteries in a timely manner.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a UPS battery detection device, comprising a UPS battery and a base; a positioning structure is installed on the base, and four movable plates are connected to the positioning structure, all four movable plates being in contact with the UPS battery; an alarm structure is connected to the four movable plates, and several limit shafts are connected to the alarm structure, with limit structures connected to the limit shafts.

[0006] Preferably, the positioning structure includes four adjusting screws, which are evenly threaded inside the base. One end of each of the four adjusting screws is rotatably mounted with a clamping plate, and the four clamping plates are slidably mounted inside the base, with each clamping plate contacting the periphery of the UPS battery.

[0007] Preferably, a cushioning rubber pad is installed on the side of the clamp closest to the UPS battery.

[0008] Preferably, the alarm structure includes several connecting rods, one end of which is rotatably mounted on a movable plate, the movable plate being rotatably mounted on a clamping plate, and the other end of which is rotatably mounted on a connecting plate. An alarm is mounted on top of the connecting plate, and a sliding rod is slidably mounted inside the connecting plate. One end of the sliding rod is mounted on a mounting plate, and a control switch is mounted on top of the mounting plate. The control switch and the alarm are electrically connected to the same control module.

[0009] Preferably, a spring is slidably sleeved on the slide rod, with the two ends of the spring respectively installed between the mounting plate and the connecting plate.

[0010] Preferably, a lifting screw is installed on the internal thread of the connecting plate, and a pressure plate is installed at one end of the lifting screw, with the pressure plate located above the control switch.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting structure includes a baffle and a positioning screw, which are respectively installed at both ends of the limiting shaft. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably sleeved on the limiting shaft. The connecting plate has several threaded holes inside, and the positioning screw is threadedly installed in the corresponding threaded holes.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] (1) In this utility model, when the UPS battery bulges, the deformed UPS battery will cause the corresponding movable plate to flip. Under the pull of the connecting rod, the connecting plate will cause the pressure plate to drop, and finally squeeze and trigger the control switch, thereby controlling the alarm to issue an audible and visual alarm, reminding the staff to check and deal with it in time.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a UPS battery detection device, including a UPS battery 100 and a base 200; a positioning structure is installed on the base 200, the positioning structure is used to limit the position of the UPS battery 100, four movable plates 300 are connected to the positioning structure, all four movable plates 300 are in contact with the UPS battery 100, an alarm structure is connected to the four movable plates 300, the alarm structure is used to trigger an alarm when the UPS battery 100 bulges, to remind the staff, a number of limit shafts 400 are connected to the alarm structure, and limit structures are connected to the limit shafts 400, the limit structures are used to make the alarm structure applicable to UPS batteries 100 of various sizes.

[0023] Furthermore, the positioning structure includes four adjusting screws 201, which are evenly threaded inside the base 200. Each of the four adjusting screws 201 has a clamping plate 202 rotatably mounted on one end. The four clamping plates 202 are slidably mounted inside the base 200, and each of the four clamping plates 202 contacts the periphery of the UPS battery 100. By rotating the adjusting screws 201 around the periphery, the clamping plates 202 can be moved through their threaded engagement with the base 200, so that the clamping plates 202 around the periphery contact the surface of the UPS battery 100, thereby restricting the position of the UPS battery 100.

[0024] Furthermore, a buffer rubber pad is installed on the side of the clamp 202 near the UPS battery 100. The buffer rubber pad can prevent the clamp 202 from being damaged by the UPS battery 100.

[0025] Furthermore, the alarm structure includes several connecting rods 301. One end of the connecting rod 301 is rotatably mounted on a movable plate 300, which is rotatably mounted on a clamping plate 202. The other end of the connecting rod 301 is rotatably mounted on a connecting plate 302. An alarm 303 is mounted on top of the connecting plate 302. A sliding rod 304 is slidably mounted inside the connecting plate 302. One end of the sliding rod 304 is mounted on a mounting plate 305. A control switch 306 is mounted on top of the mounting plate 305. The control switch 306 and the alarm 303 are electrically connected to the same control module. When the UPS battery 100 bulges during use, the deformed UPS battery 100 will cause the corresponding movable plate 300 to flip, causing one end of the connecting rod 301 to flip. This causes the connecting rod 301 to move the connecting plate 302 downwards, causing the pressure plate 309 of the connecting plate 302 to drop and trigger the control switch 306, which then activates the alarm 303 to emit an audible and visual alarm.

[0026] Furthermore, a spring 307 is slidably sleeved on the slide rod 304. The two ends of the spring 307 are respectively installed between the mounting plate 305 and the connecting plate 302. When the mounting plate 305 is placed above the UPS battery 100 and the connecting plate 302 is pressed down, the connecting plate 302 will slide on the slide rod 304 and compress the spring 307. Under the elastic force of the spring 307, the mounting plate 305 can be pressed tightly against the UPS battery 100 to prevent its position from shifting.

[0027] Furthermore, a lifting screw 308 is installed on the internal thread of the connecting plate 302. A pressure plate 309 is installed on one end of the lifting screw 308. The pressure plate 309 is located above the control switch 306. Rotating the lifting screw 308 allows it to move up and down through the thread engagement with the connecting plate 302, thereby driving the pressure plate 309 to move up and down, so as to adjust the distance between the pressure plate 309 and the control switch 306.

[0028] Example 2: Figure 3-4To facilitate adjustment of the installation position of the connecting rod 301 according to the size of the UPS battery 100, a limiting structure is arranged. The limiting structure includes a baffle 401 and a positioning screw 402. The baffle 401 and the positioning screw 402 are respectively installed at both ends of the limiting shaft 400. One end of the connecting rod 301 is rotatably sleeved on the limiting shaft 400. The connecting plate 302 has several threaded holes 403 inside. The positioning screw 402 is threaded into the corresponding threaded hole 403. When one end of the connecting rod 301 is aligned with the threaded hole 403 on the connecting plate 302, the positioning screw 402 is rotated and screwed into the corresponding threaded hole 403. At the same time, the limiting shaft 400 is inserted into the connecting rod 301, serving as the pivot of the connecting rod 301. Under the restriction of the baffle 401, the connecting rod 301 can be prevented from loosening. The multiple threaded holes 403 allow one end of the connecting rod 301 to be installed in different positions. The remaining features are the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0029] The working principle is as follows: During installation, the UPS battery 100 is placed in the middle of the base 200. By rotating the adjusting screws 201 around the perimeter, they engage with the threads of the base 200, causing the clamping plates 202 to move. This brings the clamping plates 202 into contact with the surface of the UPS battery 100, restricting its position. Then, the mounting plate 305 is placed above the UPS battery 100 and the connecting plate 302 is pressed down. The connecting plate 302 slides on the slide rod 304, compressing the spring 307. Next, one end of the connecting rod 301 is aligned with the threaded hole 403 on the connecting plate 302, and the positioning screw 402 is rotated into the corresponding threaded hole 403. Simultaneously, the limiting shaft 400 is inserted into the connecting rod 301. The baffle 401 prevents the connecting rod 301 from loosening without affecting its rotation. The installation is now complete. If the UPS battery 100 bulges during use, the deformed UPS battery 100 will cause the corresponding... The movable plate 300 flips, causing one end of the connecting rod 301 to flip as well. This causes the other end of the connecting rod 301 to rotate on the limit shaft 400, which in turn causes the connecting plate 302 to move downwards. The connecting plate 302 then causes the lifting screw 308 and the pressure plate 309 to descend, ultimately causing the pressure plate 309 to press and trigger the control switch 306. The control switch 306 then uses the control module to activate the alarm 303, which emits an audible and visual alarm to alert staff to check the situation. By setting multiple threaded holes 403, one end of the connecting rod 301 can be installed in different positions. This, combined with the movement distance of the control clamp 202, allows it to be used on UPS batteries 100 of various sizes. Rotating the lifting screw 308 allows it to move up and down through its threaded engagement with the connecting plate 302, thereby causing the pressure plate 309 to move up and down. This allows adjustment of the distance between the pressure plate 309 and the control switch 306, and the trigger distance can be changed according to the height of the UPS battery 100.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
