Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A safety apparatus for a vehicle battery and a method for operating the same capable of preventing accidents such as fire and battery explosion are provided. The safety apparatus includes a fixed housing that is fixed to a vehicle body and a movable housing that is movably disposed in the fixed housing to move due to external impact. An impact sensor is disposed within the fixed housing configured to be fractured due to the movement of the movable housing and an elastic member is configured to provide a restoring force to the movable housing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A safety apparatus for a vehicle battery, comprising: a fixed housing fixed to a vehicle body; a movable housing movably disposed within the fixed housing in order to be able to move due to external impact; an impact sensor disposed within the fixed housing so as to be fractured due to a movement of the movable housing; an elastic member providing a restoring force to the movable housing after the external impact; and a fracture part which is formed to extend within the movable housing toward the impact sensor to fracture the impact sensor by the movement of the movable housing. 2. The safety apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the impact sensor includes a notch which facilitates fracturing of the impact sensor upon impact. 3. The safety apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the impact sensor includes a conductive material. 4. The safety apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the impact sensor is further provided with a connector electrically connected to a battery management system (BMS).
