Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] A DATA MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

[0003] Technical Field

[0004] The present invention relates to a system which enables measurements related to battery modules to be carried out and precautions to be taken by detecting problems that may occur in advance.

[0005] Background of the Invention

[0006] The cells used in high voltage (HV) batteries can corrode and degrade over time. This situation puts battery performance and safety in danger. A small deformation in the axial direction can cause a short circuit in the cell, making the battery unusable. In addition, swollen battery cells have a risk of explosion and can cause serious hazards.

[0007] For this reason, it is understood that there is a need for a system which enables precautions to be taken by detecting the problems that may occur in the battery in advance by carrying out various measurements related to HV batteries.

[0008] The United States patent document no. US11801768B2, an application included in the state of the art, discloses a system configured to keep the efficiency of a vehicle above a certain threshold. The invention describes a system configured to determine whether a vehicle is operating below a certain efficiency threshold or not. If the vehicle falls below this threshold, the system replaces it with another vehicle in the group at the end of its route in order for it to operate above the threshold. The objective is to achieve a level of efficiency similar to that observed below the threshold. The sensor set included in the vehicle consists of various sensors that generate sensor data, including short-range and long-range sensors. Examples of vehicle sensors included in the set include a camera, LIDAR sensor, ultrasonic sensor, engine sensor, radar sensor, laser altimeter and more. The navigation system can store this sensor data in memory. The described sensors cover a wide range from basic automotive functions such as speed measurement to advanced features such as mapping and environmental monitoring.
