摘要:
A temperature sensor mounting arrangement for a battery frame assembly (100) in which a plurality of rechargeable battery packs (106) are supported and interconnected. The arrangement includes an elongated support member (116) secured to a battery frame member (104) and extending into an interior region of the frame member (104). At least one electrical interface connector (18) is secured to a first end of the support member (116) and an electronic temperature sensor (112) is secured to a face of the support member (116) in a target position proximate to a battery pack (106) outer surface. A plurality of electrical conductors (130) interconnects between the electrical connectors (110) and the temperature sensor (112). The temperature sensor mounting arrangement is modularized and designed to enable high speed assembly during manufacturing and ensure repeatable frame to frame sensor positioning and accuracy of temperature readings.
