Abstract
Description
Erfindungsaufgabe war die Schaffung einer Batterie-Ladungsan zeige, die dem Verbraucher den jeweiligen Ladungszustand sei ner Batterie (von voll bis leer) anzeigt. Diese Batterie-La dungsanzeige sollte für jegliche Batterie-Größen und Arten, von der Haushaltsbatterie, über beispielsweise Kfz-Batterien bis hin zu Großbatterien/Akkus anwendbar und geeignet sein.The task of the invention was to create a battery charging device show that the consumer is the respective state of charge battery (from full to empty). This battery la indication should be for all battery sizes and types, from the household battery, for example car batteries right up to large batteries / rechargeable batteries.
Der Verbraucher stand bisher bei Anwendung batteriebetriebener, bzw. batterieabhängiger Geräte aller Art jeweils vor der Fra ge, inwieweit die jeweils benutzte Batterie noch genügend leis tungsfähig/geladen, wie lange sie entspr. noch ihren Dienst u. Zweck erfüllen konnte. Hierzu dient die erfindungsgemäße Batterie-Ladungsanzeige, die dem Verbraucher zu jeder Zeit an der Batterie selbst anzeigt, wie voll oder teilentleert, bzw. daß diese voll-entleert/ungeladen ist.So far, consumers have been using battery-powered, or battery-dependent devices of all kinds in front of the woman to what extent the battery used is still sufficiently quiet capable / loaded, how long it still corresponds to its service u. Could serve purpose. This is the purpose of the invention Battery charge indicator available to the consumer at all times the battery itself shows how fully or partially empty, or that it is completely empty / unloaded.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung BATTERIE-LADUNGSANZEIGE be dient sich mikroverkapselter Anzeige-Kristalle, die kontaktiert zu Plus- und Minuspol von Batterien deren jeweiligen Ladungs zustand durch eine Verfärbung der mikroverkapselten Anzeige- Kristalle erkennbar machen. Entsprechend dem jewei ligen Ladungszustand verfärben sich die hintereinander angeord neten mikroverkapselten Anzeige-Kristalle fortlaufend, und kön nen derart skalenhaft wirken.The device according to the invention BATTERY CHARGE BE Microencapsulated display crystals are used that make contact to positive and negative pole of batteries their respective charge condition due to discoloration of the microencapsulated display Make crystals recognizable. According to the respective current charge color the one behind the other microencapsulated display crystals continuously, and can act like a scale.
Die Batterie-Ladungsanzeige kann vom Verbraucher beispielswei se in Form von selbstklebenden Ladungsanzeige-Folienstreifen an Batterien selbst angebracht werden, oder sie ist auch bereits beim Batterie-Hersteller bei Fertigung von Batterien einbring bar, so daß Batterien entsprechend generell über diese La dungsanzeige verfügen können, und somit dem Verbraucher der jeweilige Leistungsnachweis für die Batterie gegeben ist.The battery charge indicator can be used by the consumer, for example se in the form of self-adhesive charge display film strips Batteries are attached themselves, or is already there to the battery manufacturer when manufacturing batteries bar, so that batteries generally correspondingly via this La can display, and thus the consumer the respective performance record for the battery is given.

The steel sheet casing 4 shows the actual battery outer shell. The battery charge indicator 8 contacts with its electricity conductor 12 the negative pole 5 and the positive pole 6 , and pas siert the microencapsulated display crystals 7 , which change color depending on the state of charge of the battery, for example from black to green.
Fig. II. Diese Seitenansicht der Batterie 10 zeigt Plus- und Minus pol 6 und 5 zu denen die Batterie-Ladungsanzeige 8 kontak tiert ist. Entsprechend dem jeweiligen Ladungszustand fär ben sich die mikroverkapselten Anzeige-Kristalle 7 fort laufend, so daß an der Skala 9 entsprechende Wertigkeiten ablesbar werden. Die Aufsicht zeigt Plus- und Minuspol 6 und 5, die mittels der Elektrizitätsleiter 12 kontak tiert sind. Fig. II. This side view of the battery 10 shows plus and minus pole 6 and 5 to which the battery charge indicator 8 is in contact. In accordance with the respective charge state, the microencapsulated display crystals 7 are continuously colored, so that corresponding values can be read on the scale 9 . The plan shows positive and negative poles 6 and 5 , which are contacted by means of the electricity conductor 12 .
Fig. III. Zeigt eine Aufsicht auf eine Kfz-Batterie mit zu Plus- und Minuspol 6 und 5 kontaktierter Batterie-Ladungsanzeige 8 in beispielsweiser Form.
