The patent application (Publication Number: US20240035904A1) describes a temperature measurement device integrated into an energy storage device with multiple power device modules arranged in stages. The device includes an optical fiber cable with sensing spots for temperature measurement, spaced at predetermined intervals. Cable fixing units are placed between the power device modules to secure the optical fiber cable. The cable consists of inner sections fixed between stages and an outer section connecting the inner sections in series, with a length greater than the unit spacing.

Additionally, the temperature measurement device includes a controller to visualize temperature data from the sensing spots as a graph displayed on a screen. The outer section of the optical fiber cable is positioned next to the outermost power device module in a stage, with a curled portion overlapping the module's surface. The curvature radius of the curled portion is specified to be at least 20 times the cable's diameter. The energy storage device, incorporating the temperature measurement device, features a rack with power device modules, optical fiber cable with sensing spots, and cable fixing units. Hooks on the rack secure the outer section of the cable, which includes curled portions overlapping the front or rear surfaces of power device modules in a stage. The power device modules in this context refer to battery modules.
