[0023] Among them, by integrating the probe mounting plate 3, the pressing component 2, the probe mechanism 4 and the inductive drive component 5, the device realizes the accurate measurement and real-time monitoring of the performance of the lithium battery 13. The temperature sensor in the probe mechanism 4 is electrically connected with the linear drive, the first electric push rod 51 and the second electric push rod 52, allowing the device to respond quickly when abnormal temperature is detected, and emergency intervention is performed through the abnormal protection component 6 and the cooling component 7 to effectively prevent the battery from overheating. The design of the cooling component 7, including the application of thermal oil, coolant and cooling particles in the cooling capsule 71 and the cooling block 72, plus the pressure of the elastic capsule Force regulation greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency and safety. At the same time, the arc extinguishing function designed in the abnormal protection component 6 is mainly realized by the hollow structure of the sealed injection push rod 62. These structures allow nitrogen to be directly delivered to the key joint area of ​​the battery, and the nitrogen is quickly released by controlling the valve. The arc extinguishing hose 65 delivers nitrogen directly to the arc occurrence area, quickly extinguishes the arc, and effectively prevents further damage and potential fire risks caused by the arc, which significantly improves the safety and reliability of the overall equipment, ensures the continuity and stability of the battery testing process, and enables the equipment to efficiently and safely adapt to changing testing needs.

[0024] A clamping plate 31 is installed at the top of the probe installation plate 3 . A clamping plate chamfer 32 and a clamping plate arc 33 are provided on the clamping plate 31 . A support column 34 is installed at one end of the probe installation plate 3 .

[0025] Among them, the probe mechanism 4 is placed on the probe mounting plate 3, and is fixed with screws using a clamping plate 31. The probe clamping block is adjusted to align with the clamping slot on the clamping plate 31, and the clamping plate 31 is pushed to lock the probe mechanism 4, which is then locked and tightened in sequence by countersunk screws to ensure the stability and precise alignment of the probe mechanism 4. This installation method ensures the rapid positioning and stability of the probe mechanism 4, reduces the complexity of operation, and at the same time improves the reliability of the equipment and the convenience of maintenance.

[0026] 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 testing requirements, increasing or decreasing the probe mechanism 4, and re-fixing the probe mechanism 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.

[0027] The probe mechanism 4 includes a probe, and a plurality of evenly distributed probes and a temperature sensor are mounted on one end of the probe. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the linear drive, the first electric push rod 51 and the second electric push rod 52 .

[0028] See also Figure 6-Figure 9 A transmission pipe 67 is fixedly connected to the first sealing cylinder 63, and one end of the multiple transmission pipes 67 is fixedly connected to a second sealing cylinder 68 connected to the first sealing cylinder 63. A sealing push rod 69 is slidably connected in the second sealing cylinder 68, and one end of the sealing push rod 69 is movably connected to a cooling component 7.

[0029] The cooling component 7 includes a cooling capsule 71 and a cooling block 72. The cooling capsule 71 and the cooling block 72 are connected. The cooling capsule 71 is filled with heat transfer oil. A blocking block 73 is fixedly connected to the cooling block 72. Elastic capsules are installed at the upper and lower ends of the blocking block 73. A pair of elastic capsules are connected to the inner wall of the cooling block 72. The cavity formed by the upper elastic capsule and the inner wall of the cooling block 72 is filled with coolant, and the cavity formed by the lower elastic capsule and the inner wall of the cooling block 72 is filled with cooling particles.

[0030] A movable groove 74 is provided in the blocking block 73, and a sealing spring 75 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 74. A magnetic block 76 is fixedly connected to one end of the sealing spring 75. The magnetic block 76 is slidably connected to the movable groove 74, and a sealing gasket is installed on the outer periphery of the magnetic block 76. An electromagnet 77 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the cooling block 72, and an emergency temperature sensor is installed on the inner wall of the insulating protective cover 61, and the emergency temperature sensor is electrically connected to the electromagnet 77.

[0031] The inner wall of the cooling block 72 is inlaid with multiple evenly distributed heat-conducting rods 78, one end of each of which passes through the inner wall of the cooling block 72 and extends into the cooling bag 71. The material of the coolant is set to water, and the material of the cooling particles is set to saltpeter particles. The material of the coolant is set to water, and the material of the cooling particles is set to saltpeter particles.

[0032] Among them, the probe mechanism 4 includes a plurality of evenly distributed probes and temperature sensors. These probes directly contact the battery for measuring voltage and current, while the temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the battery in real time. These probes are electrically connected to the linear drive, the first electric push rod 51 and the second electric push rod 52. Once a temperature abnormality is detected, these electric mechanisms will respond immediately, first evacuating the probe mechanism 4 with abnormal temperature in the area from the test position, and then starting cooling or safety measures. The evacuation of the probe mechanism 4 from the test position can be completed by the driving mechanism on the device, which belongs to the prior art and will not be repeated here. Subsequently, the abnormal protection component 6 and the cooling component 7 are moved to the area for emergency treatment through the linear drive in cooperation with the first electric push rod 51 and the second electric push rod 52. The linear drive is a driving component composed of a servo motor, a bidirectional screw and a screw sleeve, which also belongs to the prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0033] The cooling component 7 is composed of a first sealing cylinder 63, a transmission pipe 67, a second sealing cylinder 68 and a sealing push rod 69. The cooling component 7 includes a cooling bag 71 and a cooling block 72, wherein the cooling bag is filled with heat transfer oil, and the cooling block is provided with a movable blocking block 73. Elastic bags are installed at the upper and lower ends, the upper elastic bag is filled with coolant (water), and the lower side is filled with cooling particles (saltpeter particles).

[0034] When the temperature sensor of the probe detects abnormal battery temperature, the first electric push rod 51 and the second electric push rod 52 are activated, so that the sealing push rod 69 of the cooling assembly 7 pushes the cooling bag 71 to contact the battery, and the heat transfer oil quickly absorbs and discharges heat through the heat transfer rod 78.

[0035] The multiple sealing injection push rods 62 in the insulating protective sleeve 61 abut against it, thereby increasing the air pressure in the first sealing cylinder 63, so that the air pressure in the first sealing cylinder 63 squeezes the transmission pipe 67 in the second sealing cylinder 68, so that the cooling bag 71 in the cooling component 7 is fully contacted with the joint area on the lithium battery 13 through the movement of the transmission pipe 67, thereby improving its heat dissipation efficiency.

[0036] When the cooling effect is not enough to control the temperature, the emergency temperature sensor triggers the electromagnet 77. The repulsive force exerted by the electromagnet 77 pushes the magnetic block 76 to slide in the movable groove 74, causing the blocking block 73 to move, so that the coolant and the filling cooling particles are fully mixed, thereby enhancing the cooling effect and quickly stabilizing the battery temperature.

[0037] It should be noted that the volume ratio of the coolant (water) to the cooling particles (saltpeter particles) in the cooling component 7 is between 5 and 7 to ensure that the two can be fully mixed, which can not only maximize the heat absorption efficiency but also maintain the fluidity of the mixture so that it can quickly conduct and disperse the heat from the battery.

[0038] At the same time, the elastic bags at the upper and lower ends play a vital role. When the coolant and the cooling particles are mixed, the internal space may decrease due to the change in the volume of the mixture. At this time, the elastic bag will be squeezed. Its design allows the elastic bag to exert pressure on the mixture during the extrusion process to ensure that the mixture can evenly and fully fill the entire internal space of the cooling block 72. By effectively squeezing the mixture, it is ensured that there are no gaps, which can maximize the contact area and accelerate the process of heat transfer from the heat transfer oil to the coolant and cooling particles through the heat transfer rod 78.

[0039] After use, the cooling assembly 7 can be removed from the sealing push rod 69, wherein the cooling block 72 is designed to be detachable, so as to be used for subsequent replenishment of coolant and cooling particles.

[0040] The above method can respond to emergency situations of the battery and quickly intervene through efficient thermal management, thereby greatly enhancing the safety and reliability of battery testing. The rapid responsiveness also helps to reduce equipment downtime and improve the efficiency of handling abnormally high temperatures of the battery during testing. The modularity and adjustability of the entire system also provide great flexibility for batteries of different types and sizes.

[0041] The abnormal protection component 6 includes an insulating protection sleeve 61, one end of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the second electric push rod 52, a plurality of evenly distributed first sealing cylinders 63 are inlaid in the insulating protection sleeve 61, a sealing injection push rod 62 is slidably connected in the first sealing cylinder 63, an extrusion spring 64 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first sealing cylinder 63, one end of the extrusion spring 64 is fixedly connected to the sealing injection push rod 62, the sealing injection push rod 62 is hollow, and an arc extinguishing hose 65 connected to the sealing injection push rod 62 is installed at one end, and the arc extinguishing hose 65 is arranged in the middle of the extrusion spring 64, and a conveying ring 66 is installed at the outer end of the insulating protection sleeve 61, and a plurality of arc extinguishing hoses 65 are connected to the conveying ring 66.

[0042] A gas storage container is installed on the main body 1 of the charge and discharge detection equipment. Nitrogen is set in the gas storage container, and a control valve is installed on the gas storage container. The gas storage container is connected to the conveying ring 66 through a hose. A current sensor is installed in the insulating protective cover 61, and the current sensor is electrically connected to the control valve.

[0043] Among them, the abnormal protection component 6 is composed of the following structures: an insulating protective sleeve 61: connected to the second electric push rod 52, providing mechanical protection and electrical insulation for the internal components; a first sealing cylinder 63: a sliding sealing injection push rod 62 is installed inside, which is connected to the push rod through an extrusion spring 64. The push rod is designed to be a hollow structure for transmitting nitrogen; an arc extinguishing hose 65: located in the middle of the extrusion spring, used to guide nitrogen from the push rod to the battery joint area; a conveying ring 66: connecting multiple arc extinguishing hoses 65 to form a complete gas delivery system.

[0044] The gas storage container is filled with nitrogen and is connected to the conveying ring through a control valve. These connections are completed through a hose. The current sensor is installed in the insulating protective cover 61 and is electrically connected to the control valve for detecting current abnormalities and controlling the valve switch.

[0045] When the current sensor detects current anomalies, such as arcing, the control valve is activated to release nitrogen, which is rapidly transported to the joint area of ​​the battery through the delivery ring and arc extinguishing hose 65. The injection of nitrogen effectively suppresses the arc and reduces the risk of overheating and fire.

[0046] By promptly responding to current anomalies and quickly spraying nitrogen to extinguish arcs, the possibility of safety accidents caused by electric arcs is greatly reduced, protecting the safety of batteries and equipment. The use of nitrogen can not only suppress electric arcs, but also act as an inert gas to reduce oxidation of batteries at high temperatures, thereby protecting the chemical stability of the batteries and extending their service life. The design of the insulating protective cover 61 and its internal structure ensures the reliability of the detection and response system, reduces the failure rate and maintenance requirements, and improves the reliability of the overall equipment. The modular design of the system makes maintenance and possible replacement work simple, increasing the flexibility of equipment use and the convenience of maintenance.

[0047] Working principle: The operator places the lithium battery 13 precisely on the tray 12 of the main body 1 of the charge and discharge detection equipment, and uses the positioning system to ensure that the battery is correctly aligned with the probe mechanism 4 in the equipment to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the test. The equipment power is turned on, and the system performs self-tests, including hardware status checks and software configuration loading. A specific test script is loaded, and the charge and discharge parameters and test limits are set for different types of lithium batteries. In addition, the system checks all safety monitoring devices, such as temperature sensors and current monitors, to ensure that they are in good working condition. The pressing assembly 2 controlled by the cylinder 11 allows the probe mechanism 4 to move smoothly along the guide rail equipped with a slider until the probe contacts the battery surface. The system automatically adjusts the pressure to ensure good contact with the battery but does not cause physical damage to the battery. The system performs a prescribed charging cycle on the battery and monitors the voltage, current and temperature changes of the battery during the charging process in real time. The temperature sensor in the probe mechanism 4 transmits data to the central processing unit in real time to monitor whether overheating occurs. After charging is completed, the system automatically switches to discharge mode. The discharge test helps to evaluate the actual output performance and capacity of the battery. Similarly, the system continuously monitors key parameters to ensure stable discharge and overall performance testing of the battery. After the test is completed, the probe mechanism automatically withdraws, and the system conducts a detailed analysis of the collected data. The analysis results help determine key performance indicators such as the battery's health status, efficiency, capacity decay and expected life. During the test, if any parameter abnormality is detected, such as excessive temperature or a sudden increase in current, the system will immediately initiate abnormal protection measures, the abnormal protection component 6 will be activated, and the cooling component 7 will quickly intervene to stabilize the battery temperature through thermal oil and the cooling system, or when an arc is detected, nitrogen is released through the sealed injection push rod 62 to quickly suppress the arc, effectively avoiding serious safety accidents.
