Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery connection protection technology, and in particular to a detachable battery protection cover for data centers. Background Technology

[0002] In data centers, UPS battery banks are critical components ensuring continuous operation during power outages. Therefore, battery bank maintenance is of paramount importance. Battery terminals and posts are essential components of the battery, used to connect the positive and negative terminals to achieve current input and output. Maintaining battery terminals and posts is crucial for ensuring the stable operation of the data center UPS system. Routine maintenance should include thorough cleaning, checking for loose connections or corrosion, inspecting the battery casing for leaks and deformation, checking for acid mist or leakage around the terminals and safety valves, measuring the voltage of each individual battery and ambient temperature, measuring the voltage drop of the feeder bus, cables, and flexible connectors, conducting verification discharge tests, calibrating instruments, and performing full-capacity tests. Most of these inspections and tests require contact with critical parts such as terminals and cables. To avoid the risk of electric shock, batteries are generally equipped with protective structures at the terminals.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used protective structures are generally of two types: rigid plastic covers and soft PVC rubber sleeves. Among them, rigid plastic covers are directly clipped onto the poles and terminals, while soft PVC rubber sleeves are first inserted into the cable or cable strip and then onto the pole. However, the existing protective structures have the following shortcomings in actual use: (1) Rigid protective covers are directly inserted onto the poles and cable surfaces, and are prone to loosening and falling off during maintenance; (2) Soft PVC rubber sleeves are pipe-shaped, with a cylindrical opening at one end and a round tube structure at the other end. When installing and using them, the cable or cable strip must be inserted first, and the rubber sleeve cannot be removed during maintenance, which will cause inconvenience in inspection and maintenance.

[0004] Therefore, improvements are needed to the existing battery terminal protection structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a detachable battery protection cover for data centers, which solves the problems of easy loosening and falling off when using rigid protective covers or the inconvenience caused by the non-removability of soft PVC rubber covers in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A removable battery cover for data centers includes a protective cover for nesting terminals. The protective cover has a first receiving cavity with an opening in a vertical direction. The side wall of the protective cover is provided with a protective tube for wrapping a conductive terminal connected to the terminal. The protective tube and the protective cover are integrally formed from an elastic insulating material. The protective tube has a second receiving cavity with an opening in a horizontal direction, and the second receiving cavity communicates with the first receiving cavity. A first slit communicating with the second receiving cavity is opened on the side of the protective tube near the opening of the first receiving cavity. A second slit communicating with the first slit is opened on the side wall of the protective cover near the protective tube.

[0008] Furthermore, the protective tubes are stacked on both sides of the tube wall located at the first gap.

[0009] Furthermore, the width of the overlap of the protective tube walls at the first gap is 3mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the first gap extends along the length of the protective tube.

[0011] Furthermore, the width of the second gap is set to 1 mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the sidewall surface of the protective cover is provided with a textured structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the overall shape of the protective cover is cylindrical or cuboid, and the overall shape of the protective tube is cuboid.

[0014] Furthermore, the elastic insulating material is made of PVC rubber.

[0015] Furthermore, the top of the protective cover has a test hole that communicates with the first receiving cavity.

[0016] Furthermore, the test hole is a circular through hole.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a removable battery protection cover for data centers, which has the following advantages:

[0018] This utility model uses an elastic insulating material integrally molded. Utilizing the material's elastic deformation properties, and with the connecting first and second gaps, the protective cover can be directly detached, installed, and replaced, greatly improving work efficiency. After installation, the protective cover and protective tube work together to wrap and protect the terminals and conductive parts, preventing them from easily loosening. Furthermore, the protective cover is made of insulating material, which improves the safety of the battery.

[0019] This invention is applicable to use in data centers and other similar settings to protect batteries. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below through detailed embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a detachable battery protection cover for data centers, including a protective cover 1 for nesting terminal posts 3. The protective cover 1 has a first receiving cavity 11 with an opening in the vertical direction. The side wall of the protective cover 1 is provided with a protective tube 2 for wrapping the conductive terminals 4 connected to the terminal posts 3. The protective tube 2 and the protective cover 1 are integrally formed from an elastic insulating material. The protective tube 2 has a second receiving cavity 21 with an opening in the horizontal direction, and the second receiving cavity 21 communicates with the first receiving cavity 11. A first slit 22 communicating with the second receiving cavity 21 is opened on the side of the protective tube 2 near the opening of the first receiving cavity 11. A second slit 12 communicating with the first slit 22 is opened on the side wall of the protective cover 1 near the protective tube 2. The use of an integrally formed elastic insulating material allows the material to deform elastically. Combined with the connected first and second slits, the protective cover can be directly detached, installed, and replaced, greatly improving work efficiency. After installation, the protective cover and the protective tube can work together to wrap and protect the terminal posts and conductive terminals. In addition, the protective cover is made of insulating material, which can improve the safety of the battery.

[0035] The protective sleeve is roughly pipe-shaped, and its shape can be customized to fit the battery terminals and conductive parts. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective cover 1 is cylindrical in shape and is adapted to be connected to a cylindrical pole; the protective tube 2 is cuboid in shape and is adapted to be connected to a flat conductive terminal.

[0036] As an improved implementation method, refer to Figures 1-4 The protective tube 2 has its two side walls stacked at the first gap 22. By designing the walls of the protective tube to be stacked at the first gap, the protective tube is prevented from being easily pried open by external force, thus ensuring the insulation effect.

[0037] In some specific implementations, as examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, the overlap width of the protective tube 2 at the first gap 22 is 3mm. By overlapping by 3mm, a good insulation effect can be ensured.

[0038] In some specific implementation methods, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the first gap 22 extends along the length of the protective tube 2, thereby facilitating the opening of the protective tube to both sides outwards.

[0039] In some specific implementations, as examples, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the width of the second gap 12 is set to 1 mm. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the width of the second gap can be flexibly adjusted to 0.5 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, etc.

[0040] As an improved implementation, the sidewall surface of the protective cover 1 is provided with a textured structure 13, which can increase the friction when gripping, thereby facilitating installation and disassembly. As an example, the textured structure 13 can be a grid-like pattern. Specifically, in this embodiment, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cylindrical protective cover 1 has textured structures 13 on its circumferential sidewalls.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, as an example, the elastic insulating material is PVC rubber. PVC rubber has properties such as insulation, wear resistance, high elasticity, and fire resistance, and can be easily twisted and unfolded to be nested on the pole.

[0042] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The top of the protective cover 1 is provided with a test hole 14 that communicates with the first receiving cavity 11, so that it can be conveniently used to directly test the voltage and internal resistance of the battery without having to remove the entire protective cover, which greatly improves the efficiency of maintenance and testing.

[0043] In some specific implementations, as examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, the test hole 14 is a circular through hole. More specifically, the diameter of the test hole 14 can be set to 1 mm. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the diameter of the test hole can be flexibly adjusted to 0.5 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, etc.

[0044] When using, refer to Figure 4The protective cover 1 is fitted with its open end facing the terminal post 3. While pressing down, the protective tube 2 is manually pried open at the first gap 22, allowing the conductive terminal 4 connected to the terminal post 3 and the wire connected to the conductive terminal 4 to pass through the first gap 22 and the second gap 12. Then, due to its own elastic deformation, the protective tube 2 returns to its stacked state at the first gap 22, thus protecting the conductive terminal 4. When it is necessary to test the battery voltage and internal resistance, this can be done directly through the test hole 14 on the top of the protective cover 1, eliminating the need to disassemble the entire protective cover and preventing the cables from loosening or falling off. When it is necessary to disassemble the entire protective cover, its relatively soft material allows for easy removal and reduces the possibility of loosening the cables.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] refer to Figures 5-7 This embodiment provides a different structure for a removable battery cover for a data center, which is an adjustment based on the structure of Embodiment 1. The difference between Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 1 is the difference in overall shape.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the protective cover 1 is generally cuboid in shape, with a square opening, suitable for connecting to a pole with a square cross-section; the protective tube 2 is generally cuboid in shape, suitable for connecting to a flat conductive terminal. The side wall of the protective cover 1 near the protective tube 2 does not have a textured structure 13, while the other three side walls of the protective cover 1 have textured structures 13.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] refer to Figures 8-10 This embodiment provides a different structure for a removable battery cover for a data center, which is an adjustment based on the structure of Embodiment 1. The difference between Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 1 is the difference in overall shape.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the protective cover 1 is generally cuboid in shape, with a rectangular opening that is adapted to connect to a rectangular cross-section pole; the protective tube 2 is generally cuboid in shape and is adapted to connect to a flat conductive terminal. The two side walls of the protective cover 1 are provided with textured structures 13.

[0051] This utility model is applicable to the protection of batteries in data centers. Of course, it can also be applied to other places where batteries are used, such as power distribution rooms and power stations, for protection, depending on the needs of use.
