Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of charge and discharge detection equipment, and more specifically, to a lithium battery charge and discharge detection equipment and a detection process. Background Art
[0002] As a highly efficient energy storage device, lithium batteries are widely used in various portable electronic devices, electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. The performance, safety and life of lithium batteries directly affect the efficiency and reliability of these devices. In order to ensure that the performance and safety of lithium batteries meet the optimal standards, accurate charge and discharge tests are required, which can not only evaluate the capacity and discharge curve of the battery, but also detect the performance changes of the battery under different charge and discharge cycles, making lithium battery charge and discharge detection equipment extremely important.
[0003] Although existing lithium battery testing systems are able to provide accurate measurements of a variety of battery performance parameters, there are still significant challenges in the maintenance and cleaning of probes. Traditional cleaning methods mainly rely on manual cleaning, which is not only inefficient but may also cause probe damage due to improper operation, especially when dealing with complex probes with multiple tiny, precision probes. In addition, manual cleaning methods make it difficult to completely remove all contaminants on the probes, such as dust and chemical residues, which can affect the accuracy and repeatability of test results.
[0004] Mechanical cleaning equipment that is manually operated usually requires the operator to directly intervene in the cleaning process, but often damages sensitive probes due to its rigid cleaning method. The strong scrubbing or brushing action of mechanical cleaning may cause probe bending, breaking or other forms of physical damage, especially when the probes are densely installed or the design is relatively delicate. This risk is particularly prominent. In addition, mechanical cleaning is often difficult to adapt to the specific needs of probes of different shapes and sizes, resulting in incomplete cleaning or excessive cleaning, which affects the long-term use and maintenance costs of the equipment.

[0042] Among them, through the automated pressing assembly 2 and the precisely controlled probe assembly 4, the equipment can ensure the precise docking of the probe with the battery electrode, avoid human operation errors, and ensure the consistency and reliability of the test data. Secondly, the design uses magnetic fluid and annular sealing airbags 66 to provide a gentle and efficient cleaning method. The magnetic fluid is precisely guided by the magnetic field controlled by the electromagnet 64 to achieve comprehensive and detailed cleaning of the probe 41, avoiding physical damage to the probe that may be caused in traditional cleaning. The advantages are more obvious when dealing with high-density and fine probes. The application of the annular sealing airbag 66 ensures the sealing and recycling of the cleaning fluid during the cleaning process, further improving the cleaning efficiency and environmental protection, not only extending the service life of the probe, but also maintaining the accuracy of data collection, significantly improving the maintenance efficiency and reliability of the equipment.
[0043] The probe assembly 4 includes a probe 41 , a spring 42 is installed around the probe 41 , and a plurality of evenly distributed probes are installed at one end of the probe 41 . A sleeve 45 is provided at one end of the probe 41 , and the probe 41 is slidably connected to the sleeve 45 .

A feedback block 43 is fixedly connected to one end of the probe 41 and the spring 42. The feedback block 43 is slidably connected to the sleeve 45.

The probe clamping block 44 is adjusted to align with the clamping slot on the clamping plate 31, and the clamping plate 31 is pushed to lock the probe assembly 4, which is then locked and tightened in sequence by countersunk screws to ensure the stability and precise alignment of the probe assembly 4. This installation method ensures the rapid positioning and stability of the probe assembly 4, reduces the complexity of operation, and improves the reliability of the equipment and the convenience of maintenance.
[0047] By loosening the screws on the card board 31 without completely removing it, the card board 31 can be quickly adjusted or replaced to adjust the number and spacing of probes, supporting rapid response to different test requirements, adding or reducing the probe assembly 4, and re-fixing the probe assembly 4, providing great flexibility and adjustment speed, enabling the equipment to quickly adapt to different types of battery tests, greatly reducing equipment downtime and improving production efficiency.
[0048] The probe mounting plate 3 is made of an aluminum mold, combined with a finely designed card plate 31, wherein the card plate 31 is designed to include a card plate chamfer 32 for easy installation and a card plate arc 33 for compatibility with probes of multiple sizes. In addition, the combined use of the probe mounting plate 3 and the card plate 31 reduces the use of screws, and the support column 34 enhances the structural stability, optimizes the mechanical strength and durability of the component, reduces the wear caused by frequent replacement or adjustment of the probe, and improves the stability and operating efficiency of the entire machine.

A servo motor is fixedly connected to one end of the driving plate 52, and a reciprocating screw rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. One end of the reciprocating screw rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the driving plate 52. A plurality of evenly distributed screw sleeves matching the number of the cleaning components 6 are installed outside the reciprocating screw rod, and a moving block 53 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw sleeve.
[0050] A pair of symmetrical connecting rods are fixedly connected to the top of the moving block 53 . The cleaning assembly 6 includes a cleaning frame 61 . The bottom of the cleaning frame 61 is fixedly connected to the pair of connecting rods. A pair of symmetrical electromagnets 64 are fixedly connected to both ends of the cleaning frame 61 .
[0051] A conveying hose 62 and an output hose 63 are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the cleaning frame 61. The conveying hose 62 includes a cleaning hose and an inflation hose. One end of the cleaning hose is connected to a cleaning box and a drying box, and the cleaning hose is communicated with the cleaning frame 61. A drying fan is installed in the drying box. A cleaning liquid and a diaphragm pump are provided in the cleaning box. The cleaning liquid consists of a magnetic fluid and a cleaning base liquid. One end of the inflation hose is connected to an inflation pump. An annular sealing airbag 66 is installed in the cleaning frame 61, and the inflation hose is communicated with the annular sealing airbag 66.
[0052] The output hose 63 includes a regulating block, an electric valve is installed in the regulating block, and a collecting hose and a drying hose connected to the regulating block are installed at the bottom of the regulating block, one end of the collecting hose is connected to a recovery box, and one end of the drying hose is connected to a discharge pipe.
[0053] A plurality of evenly distributed friction balls 65 are installed in the cleaning frame 61 . The friction balls 65 and the plurality of probes arranged on the probe 41 are staggered in distribution, and the material of the friction balls 65 is set to be polytetrafluoroethylene.
[0054] Among them, the operation of charge and discharge detection is mainly realized through the probe assembly 4. The probe directly contacts the electrode of the lithium battery 13 to perform necessary current transmission and voltage measurement. The operator correctly places the lithium battery 13 on the tray 12 in the device body 1 to ensure that the battery electrodes match the corresponding positions of the probe assembly 4. When the device is started, the cylinder 11 of the pressing assembly 2 is activated to push the pressing transmission mechanism, including the slider and the connecting rod, so that the probe assembly 4 moves toward the electrode of the lithium battery 13 and finally contacts. During this process, the probe head 41 provides the necessary pressure through its spring 42 to ensure good electrical contact.
[0055] After the probe head 41 contacts the battery electrode, the electrical connection of the probe is activated and begins to transmit current for charging test or discharging test. During the charging and discharging process, the device collects the voltage, current and other important parameters of the battery through the probe assembly 4. These data are transmitted to the main control system through the probe mounting plate 3 for analysis. After the test is completed, the cylinder 11 is reversely activated to separate the probe assembly 4 from the battery electrode, allowing the battery to be removed or the next round of testing to be carried out.
[0056] When during the detection process, the probe on the probe 41 contacts the lithium battery 13 and causes abnormal pressure, the pressure will be fed back to the pressure sensor in 43. By setting the pressure sensor in a specific threshold environment, when the pressure sensor data is large, the probe 41 contacts the lithium battery 13 and causes a larger pressure. When the pressure sensor data is small, the probe 41 contacts the lithium battery 13 and causes a smaller pressure. Both can be adjusted by starting the electric push rod to be within a certain threshold range, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the detection and the safety of the probe 41.
[0057] When it is necessary to clean the multiple probes 41 on the probe, since the multiple probe assemblies 4 and the multiple cleaning assemblies 6 are arranged on the same horizontal line, the adjusting electric push rod installed on the fixed plate 51 is first started to drive the driving plate 52 to move to the outside of the multiple probe assemblies 4. At this time, the servo motor on the driving plate 52 is started again, so that the servo motor drives the reciprocating screw rod to rotate, thereby driving the multiple moving blocks 53 to move to the side close to the probe assembly 4, so that the cleaning frame 61 in the cleaning assembly 6 coincides with the center point of the probe 41, and then the adjusting electric push rod is started again, so that the cleaning frame 61 is sleeved on the probe 41. At the outer enclosure, the power supply of the entire detection equipment is disconnected, and the air pump connected to one end of the inflation hose is started. By starting the air pump, the annular sealing airbag 66 is inflated and abuts against the outer wall of the probe 41, thereby maintaining its sealing. After completion, a pair of electromagnets 64 and the diaphragm pump power switch set in the cleaning box are started again, so that the diaphragm pump conveys the cleaning liquid into the closed environment formed by the cleaning frame 61 and the probe 41, and by controlling the conveying frequency of the diaphragm pump, it changes periodically. The diaphragm pump is suitable for fluids with high viscosity and containing solid particles, and can prevent magnetic particles in the magnetic fluid from damaging the internal structure of the pump.
[0058] The cleaning liquid is composed of a cleaning base liquid and a magnetic fluid. When a pair of electromagnets 64 are turned on, the magnetic fluid of the cleaning liquid can generate an attraction force, so that the entire cleaning liquid can generate a certain controllable friction force on the probe 41 on the probe, which can avoid large physical friction contact and have a certain flexibility of cleaning, reducing the mechanical wear of the probe 41, so that the cleaning base liquid can better remove the dust and oil stains on the probe 41 on the probe. At the same time, through the periodic change of the delivery frequency of the diaphragm pump, it can drive the multiple annular sealing airbags 66 in the cleaning frame 61, so that the friction between the annular sealing airbags 66 and the recessed part of the probe 41 can better achieve a flexible cleaning effect, while maintaining its cleaning efficiency, it will not cause damage to the probe 41. At the same time, by setting the material of the friction ball 65 to be polytetrafluoroethylene material, the material has excellent chemical stability and hardly reacts with any chemical substances, thereby maintaining its service life. At the same time, if the friction ball 65 has a small friction force due to the performance of the material and is difficult to achieve a cleaning effect, friction patterns can also be engraved on its surface to achieve a cleaning effect.
[0059] By using a cleaning liquid composed of a magnetic fluid and a cleaning base liquid, and cooperating with the activation of the electromagnet 64, the dynamics of the magnetic fluid in the cleaning liquid can be accurately controlled, thereby applying a gentle and uniform friction force to the probe 41 on the probe, effectively avoiding excessive friction and damage to the probe 41 that may be caused by traditional mechanical cleaning. The gravitational force of the electromagnet ensures that the magnetic fluid maintains effective contact during the cleaning process without directly applying a large physical pressure on the surface of the probe 41. In addition, the periodic delivery changes of the diaphragm pump make the annular sealing airbag 66 in the cleaning frame 61 gently contact with the probe 41, further improving the flexibility and efficiency of cleaning. The use of a friction ball 65 made of polytetrafluoroethylene increases the chemical stability and durability of the system. The special friction texture design on its surface also enhances the thoroughness of cleaning, ensuring that the probe 41 is effectively and safely cleaned from dust and oil stains, thereby achieving an efficient and protective cleaning effect without damaging the probe 41.
[0060] The design of the electromagnet 64 embodies a high degree of adaptability and precise control, and its magnetic strength can be adjusted according to the cleaning requirements. This adjustable feature enables the electromagnet to provide appropriate magnetic force according to different probes 41 and the degree of contamination, ensuring that the cleaning process is both effective and gentle, and preventing excessive magnetic force from causing unnecessary mechanical pressure or damage to the probe 41. In addition, when the device is not in a cleaning state, the electromagnet can be completely powered off to eliminate its magnetic field, thereby ensuring that there will be no magnetic field interference with the normal operation of the device, which not only improves the flexibility of the device, but also ensures the safety and stability of the device in non-cleaning mode, making the entire system more reliable, and able to provide precise cleaning when needed, and remain non-interfering with the operation of the device when not needed.
[0061] Subsequently, by controlling the electric valve of the regulating block in the output hose 63, the cleaning liquid can enter the recovery box through the collection hose, and the magnetic fluid can be recycled through the recovery box, which can be achieved by magnetic separation or centrifugal separation.
[0062] Magnetic separation concentrates the waste liquid containing magnetic fluid in a container and arranges one or more high-strength magnets around the container to create a magnetic field strength sufficient to attract the magnetic particles. The magnetic particles will be attracted by the magnets and can then be collected mechanically. The remaining liquid can be further cleaned by filtration or sedimentation to remove any remaining magnetic particles.
[0063] The centrifugal separation method places the cleaning liquid containing magnetic fluid into the tube of the centrifuge, starts the centrifuge, and rotates at high speed so that the magnetic particles are forced to move to the bottom of the tube due to their higher density. After centrifugation, the solid particles and liquid are separated into layers, the particles are deposited at the bottom, and the upper layer is a cleaner liquid. Subsequently, the magnetic particles at the bottom are carefully removed, and the liquid on the upper layer is collected for further processing or disposal.
[0064] After the cleaning is completed, the drying fan in the drying box can be started to dry the cleaned probe 41, so as to facilitate the subsequent work.
[0065] If you want to more accurately monitor and verify the removal of the magnetic fluid during the cleaning process, you can install a magnetic field sensor, such as a Hall effect sensor, near the cleaning frame 61 or the drive board 52. It can detect the strength and direction of the magnetic field around it to ensure that it can approach the probe 41 part of the probe. The sensor is placed in a position that can cover all probes 41 and can remain stable during the cleaning and detection cycle. If the detected magnetic field strength is abnormal, it may indicate that the magnetic fluid has not been completely removed. You can choose to install it according to the actual situation.
[0066] The testing process of lithium battery charging and discharging testing equipment includes the following steps:
[0067] S1: Battery positioning and installation: The operator places the lithium battery 13 on the tray 12 in the device body 1, ensuring that the electrodes of the lithium battery are accurately aligned with the probe assembly 4, providing an accurate physical contact basis for the subsequent test.
[0068] S2: Precise docking of the probe: Activate the cylinder 11 in the pressing assembly 2 to drive the pressing transmission mechanism, including the slider and the connecting rod, to push the probe assembly 4 to move precisely toward the electrode of the lithium battery 13. By finely controlling the pressing power, ensure that the probe contacts the battery electrode gently and stably to prevent damage to the electrode or the probe.
[0069] S3: Start the charge and discharge test sequence: After the probe successfully contacts the battery electrode, the system automatically starts the charge or discharge test program, which transmits a certain amount of current to the lithium battery through the probe assembly 4 and monitors the battery response in real time, such as voltage and current changes.
[0070] S4: Data collection and real-time analysis: During the charging and discharging process, various electrical parameters of the lithium battery, such as voltage, current, temperature, etc., are collected in real time and transmitted to the main control system through the probe mounting board 3 to evaluate the battery performance and record the results for subsequent analysis.
[0071] S5: End of test and evacuation of probe: After the test is completed, the system instructs the cylinder 11 to operate in reverse, and the probe assembly 4 is smoothly evacuated from the battery electrode to avoid any physical damage to the battery or the probe. Then, the tray 12 removes the battery and prepares for the next battery.
[0072] S6: Probe cleaning and maintenance: When part of the test cycle or when the demand is triggered, the cleaning component 6 is activated, and the adjustment electric push rod on the fixed plate 51 controls the cleaning frame 61 to move above the probe component 4. The annular sealing airbag 66 ensures a sealed environment, and then the cleaning and drying process is started to completely remove the contaminants on the probe.
