Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of electric vehicle accessories, specifically relating to a battery separator. Background Technology
[0002] Electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric tricycles are all powered by electricity, produce no exhaust emissions, and are relatively simple to operate, requiring no complicated driving skills. With their advantages in environmental protection, economy, convenience, and safety, they have become an important part of modern transportation. Whether for daily commuting or short-distance travel, two-wheeled or three-wheeled electric vehicles are an efficient and sustainable mode of transportation.
[0003] With the rapid development of electric vehicle technology, battery configurations have been continuously upgraded, from the initial three 12-amplitude batteries to four, five, six, and even twelve batteries. This change has significantly improved the range and speed of electric vehicles, placing higher demands on battery installation technology. Correct battery connection is crucial; it not only reduces wiring wear and fire risk but also significantly extends battery life. Electric vehicles have battery compartments under the footrests. To improve range, riders often place multiple batteries in these compartments. When using multiple batteries, a correct connection is essential: the positive terminal of the first battery connects to the negative terminal of the second, the positive terminal of the second to the negative terminal of the third, and so on, forming a series connection. However, in practice, battery connections are often haphazard. For example, the positive terminal of the first battery might connect to the negative terminal of the third, and vice versa. When there are six or more batteries, incorrect connections are easy to occur, leading to sparking at the battery terminals and potentially causing a fire. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a battery separator that covers the battery, effectively controlling the situation where the battery connection is too haphazard and preventing serious accidents caused by battery wiring bridging.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A battery separator includes a plate that is connected to an electric vehicle frame and covers the battery pack. The edge of the plate has a notch for exposing the battery terminals. The notch is positioned to match the positions of the positive and negative terminals of the battery pack. A guide channel is formed on the plate, and a wire-holding groove is provided in the guide channel for fixing wires. Positive and negative indicator positions are arranged on the front of the plate to indicate the positive and negative terminals of the battery at the location of the notch.
[0007] Furthermore, the plate is rectangular.
[0008] Furthermore, the gaps include single-pole gaps and double-pole gaps. The single-pole gaps are arranged one above the other, while the upper and lower edges of the plate form double-pole gaps.
[0009] Furthermore, a first guiding channel is formed between the upper unipolar notch and its adjacent lower bipolar notch, and a second guiding channel is formed between two adjacent lower bipolar notches.
[0010] Furthermore, a through slot is provided in the middle of the plate to expose the terminal block located in the middle position.
[0011] Furthermore, the plate is L-shaped.
[0012] Furthermore, the gaps include single-pole gaps and double-pole gaps. The single-pole gaps are arranged on the left and right sides of the top corner of the plate, and the left and right edges of the plate form double-pole gaps.
[0013] Furthermore, the through-slot is a multi-stage through-slot.
[0014] Furthermore, a third guide channel is formed between the single-pole notch on the right and the multi-pole through groove, a fourth guide channel is formed on the plate below the multi-pole through groove, and a fifth guide channel parallel to the third guide channel is arranged on the plate, and the fifth guide channel is connected to the multi-pole through groove.
[0015] Beneficial effects:
[0016] This utility model's battery separator includes a plate covering the battery pack. The plate has notches, positive and negative terminal indicators, and guide channels. The notches expose the battery terminals, and their positions match the positions of the positive and negative terminals of the battery pack. The positive and negative terminal indicators indicate the positive and negative terminals of the battery at the location of the notch. The guide channels guide the user on how to connect the batteries, eliminating the need for users to consult diagrams. Connecting the batteries according to the guide channels and notches avoids safety hazards caused by haphazard wiring. The guide channels are equipped with wire-locking grooves to secure the wires and prevent wire misalignment. This utility model's battery separator effectively prevents haphazard installation of electric vehicle batteries. Users simply need to fix the separator to the frame with screws and connect the batteries according to the exposed terminals, eliminating the need for further learning or consulting diagrams.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0031] like Figure 1-4 The battery separator of the first embodiment of this utility model includes a plate 2 connected to the electric vehicle frame and covering the battery pack 1. A notch 3 is formed on the edge of the plate 2 to expose the battery terminals. The notch 3 is positioned to match the positions of the positive and negative terminals of the battery pack 1. A guide channel 4 is formed on the plate 2 to guide the user on how to connect the batteries. A wire clamping groove 5 for fixing the wires is provided in the guide channel 4. Positive and negative terminal indicators 6 are arranged on the front of the plate 2 and are located near the notch 3. The positive and negative terminal indicators 6 are used to indicate the positive and negative terminals of the battery at the location of the notch 3.
[0032] In this embodiment, the battery pack 1 includes five batteries arranged in a row, numbered from left to right as first battery 101, second battery 102, third battery 103, fourth battery 104, and fifth battery 105. The positive terminal of the first battery 101 is on the same side as the positive terminal of the second battery 102. The positive terminal of the second battery 102 is on the same side as and adjacent to the negative terminal of the third battery 103. The negative terminal of the third battery 103 is on the same side as the positive terminal of the fourth battery 104. The positive terminal of the fourth battery 104 is on the same side as and adjacent to the negative terminal of the fifth battery 105. The negative terminal of the second battery 102 is on the same side as and adjacent to the positive terminal of the third battery 103. The fifth battery 105... The negative terminal is on the same side and adjacent to the positive terminal of the fifth battery 105. The battery pack 1 is rectangular in shape. The shape of the plate 2 is adapted to the shape of the top surface of the battery pack 1. The plate 2 is rectangular. The notch 3 includes a single-pole notch 301 and a double-pole notch 302. The single-pole notches 301 are arranged one above the other to match the positive and negative terminals of the first battery 101. Two double-pole notches are formed on the upper edge of the plate 2 and two double-pole notches are formed on the lower edge of the plate 2. The double-pole notches 302 match the positive and negative terminals of the adjacent batteries. A first guide channel 401 is formed between the upper single-pole notch 301 and its adjacent lower double-pole notch 302. A second guide channel 402 is formed between two adjacent lower double-pole notches 302.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in specific applications, the battery wiring operation is performed. The negative terminal of the first battery 101 in the lower single-pole notch is connected to the electric vehicle via a wire. The first wire 901, which is connected to the positive terminal of the first battery 101 in the upper single-pole notch, is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery 102 in the lower double-pole notch along the first guide channel 401. The positive terminal of the third battery 103 in the same lower double-pole notch is connected to the second wire 902. The second wire 902 is connected to the fourth battery in another lower double-pole notch along the second guide channel 402. The negative terminal of battery 104 is connected to the positive terminal of the fifth battery 105 within the same lower bipolar notch, which is connected to the electric vehicle. The positive terminal of the second battery 102 and the negative terminal of the third battery 103 within the upper bipolar notch are directly connected via the third wire 903. The positive terminal of the fourth battery 104 and the negative terminal of the fifth battery 105 within another upper bipolar notch are directly connected via the fourth wire 904. Users do not need to refer to the diagram for wiring; they can simply follow the guide channel and the notch to connect the wires, avoiding safety hazards caused by arbitrary wiring.
[0034] When the positive and negative terminals of adjacent batteries are on different sides, a guide channel 4 needs to be set on one side, and the other side is directly wired.
[0035] Preferably, the guide channel 4 is located between the terminals of different polarities of two adjacent batteries. The other set of terminals of different polarities of the two adjacent batteries does not need to be provided with the guide channel 4, because the wire connection between the adjacent batteries is already achieved through the provided guide channel, thus avoiding the misguidance of the user caused by too many guide channels.
[0036] Preferably, the bipolar notch connected to a guide channel and located in the middle has another guide channel extending to the adjacent bipolar notch.
[0037] Preferably, the terminals in the bipolar notch that are not connected to the guide channel are directly connected with wires.
[0038] like Figure 5-8 In the second embodiment of the present invention, the battery separator has a through groove in the middle of the plate 2 to expose the terminal block arranged in the middle position.
[0039] In this embodiment, battery pack 1 includes five batteries, numbered sequentially in a counter-clockwise direction as first battery 101, second battery 102, third battery 103, fourth battery 104, and fifth battery 105. First battery 101, second battery 102, and third battery 103 are arranged in one column, and fourth battery 104 and fifth battery 105 are arranged in another column. The positive terminal of first battery 101 is on the same side as the negative terminal of second battery 102, and the negative terminal of second battery 102 is on the same side and adjacent to the positive terminal of third battery 103. The negative terminal of battery 104 is on the same side and adjacent to the positive terminal of the fifth battery 105. The positive terminals of the second battery 102, the negative terminals of the third battery 103, the positive terminals of the fourth battery 104, and the negative terminals of the fifth battery 105 are converged. The positive terminals of the second battery 102 and the negative terminals of the fifth battery 105 are positioned opposite each other at their top ends, and the negative terminals of the third battery 103 and the positive terminals of the fourth battery 104 are positioned opposite each other at their top ends. The battery pack 1 is L-shaped overall, and the shape of the plate 2 is the same as the shape of the top surface of the battery pack 1. Correspondingly, plate 2 is L-shaped, with single-pole notches 301 arranged on the left and right sides at the top corners of plate 2, matching the positive and negative terminals of the first battery 101. A double-pole notch 302 is formed on the left edge and another on the right edge of plate 2, respectively matching the negative terminal of the second battery 102 and the positive terminal of the third battery 103, the negative terminal of the fourth battery 104, and the positive terminal of the fifth battery 105. In this embodiment, the through-slot is a multi-pole through-slot 8, which contains the second battery 102. The positive terminal, the negative terminal of the third battery 103, the positive terminal of the fourth battery 104, and the negative terminal of the fifth battery 105 are connected by a third guide channel 403 formed between the single-pole notch 301 on the right and the multi-pole through slot 8. A fourth guide channel 404 is formed on the plate 2 below the multi-pole through slot 8 to guide the connection between the negative terminal of the third battery 103 and the positive terminal of the fourth battery 104. A fifth guide channel 405 is arranged on the plate 2 parallel to the third guide channel 403 and is connected to the multi-pole through slot 8.
[0040] like Figure 6As shown, in specific applications, the wiring operation between batteries is performed. The positive terminal of the first battery 101 in the left single-pole notch is connected to the electric vehicle via the fifth wire 905. The sixth wire 906, which is connected to the negative terminal of the first battery 101 in the right single-pole notch, is connected to the positive terminal of the second battery 102 in the multi-pole slot 8 along the third guide channel 403. The negative terminal of the second battery 102 and the positive terminal of the third battery 103 in the left edge double-pole notch are directly connected using the seventh wire 907. The negative terminal of the third battery 103 and the positive terminal of the fourth battery 104 in the multi-pole slot 8 are connected along the fourth guide channel 404 and via the eighth wire 908. The negative terminal of the fourth battery 104 and the positive terminal of the fifth battery 105 in the right edge double-pole notch are directly connected via the ninth wire 909. The negative terminal of the fifth battery 105 is connected to the electric vehicle along the fifth guide channel 405 via the tenth wire.
