BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cap for protecting a terminal of an automotive battery, which is attached to a lead terminal of an automotive battery to suppress the self discharge of the battery and the generation of basic carbonates of the terminal itself, and to convert the positive and negative terminals into electrical energy.

1 is a perspective view of a battery battery assembly state of the prior art without a protective cap.

As shown in FIG. 1, a protective cap is not formed at a terminal of an automotive storage battery.

In general, a car battery generates a self discharge, which is a function of naturally reducing the capacity of a battery inside the battery without discharging to the outside even in a state of charging, discharging, and open circuit. In the case of a battery, the battery is stored in the absence of electrolyte until the battery is used. Since the battery itself is at the stage of having full chemical energy, a protective cap to prevent self discharge is not necessary.

Recently, automotive batteries are wet charged batteries, which not only generate self discharge from the completion of battery manufacturing, but also lead terminals of the batteries are exposed to the air until they are used as a power source for automobiles. Condensation is followed by the formation of basic lead carbonate (Basic Lead Carbonate) by its own chemical reaction.

In addition, the storage and stationary process before being settled at the position as the main power source of a vehicle, for example, is caused by the simultaneous contact of the same external conductor with the positive (+) and negative (-) lead terminals which are converted into electrical energy. Inadvertent electrical short-circuit due to conductor contact occurs frequently, thereby reducing the life of the battery.

As a finished product with electrical energy, when the terminal does not have the positive (+) and the negative (-) color-coded markings, it is essential to check the polarity of the battery terminal when installing the battery as an unfinished product in a vehicle. There was a problem due to the user's polarity misunderstanding.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, to prevent the degradation of the performance of the battery by preventing the generation of basic oxide salts that may occur in the self-discharge and lead terminals of the automotive battery, and keep the terminal surface in a clean state of the consumer In addition to rethinking the misunderstandings and reliability of product quality, we also provide caps for terminal protection of automotive batteries that eliminate the problem of shortening the lifespan of batteries by applying insulating materials to prevent electrical shorts due to careless handling. There is this.

In addition, the present invention saves a beautiful image as a finished product having electrical energy through color-coded display of the positive electrode (+) and the negative electrode (-), and in the situation where the polarity of the battery terminal is essential, the optimal design provided after the polarity check Another object of the present invention is to provide a terminal protection cap of a battery for an automotive battery, which can be quickly detached by an excellent detachable function and minimizes inconvenience caused by the attachment of a protective cap, thereby eliminating the possibility of a problem caused by polarity misunderstanding.

Cap for protecting the terminal of the automotive battery of the present invention for achieving the above object is assembled detachably from the automotive battery, it is possible to minimize the self-discharge of the wet battery.

According to the present invention, it prevents the lead hydroxide and basic carbonate that may occur in the battery terminal.

According to the present invention, an electrical short may be prevented by using an insulating material (PE) in the protective cap.

According to the present invention, a polarity mark may be displayed on the protective cap.

According to the present invention, an polarization mark can be displayed on the upper surface of the protective cap, and an opening is formed to facilitate removal and attachment.

According to the present invention, the guide rib (Rib) is provided in the interior of the protective cap to facilitate removal and attachment.

According to the present invention, the polarization is easy to distinguish by applying red for the positive (+) terminal and blue for the negative (-) terminal to the protective cap, and the color can be changed.
