  • Patent number: 11474159
    Abstract: A battery State of Health estimation method based on a standard sample and a dual-embedded decoupling includes the steps of extracting significant characteristic peaks of the standard sample, mechanism parameter calibration of the standard sample, and on-line State of Health estimation of the test battery. The battery State of Health estimation method expounds the dual coupling relationship between temperature and aging on the characteristic peak voltage of Incremental Capacity curve from the perspective of impedance characteristic mechanism analysis, and proposes a method eliminating the voltage deviation caused by the most temperature-sensitive charge transfer resistance based on the “standard sample” to realize the decoupling of the first layer.

  • Patent number: 10910767
    Abstract: Disclosed is a floating female socket with a self-return function, which includes a female socket insulator, a female socket cover, a female socket terminal, a shielding housing, and an elastic guide plate. Two elastic guide plates are disposed, which are formed by upwardly extending left and right side walls of the shielding housing. The elastic guide plates each include an elastic side top and an arc-shaped guide part, where the elastic side top is configured to jack up against the female socket cover and is formed by inwardly extending an inner wall of the elastic guide plate. The arc-shaped guide part is formed by externally bending and extending a free end of the elastic guide plate.
