[0002] Currently, in blade battery experimental lines, handheld test probes are often used for short-circuit testing to quickly check for internal short circuits within the cells. The pulse Hi-pot testers currently used have a voltage range of 60–2000V, with standard test settings between 120–1000V, and in special cases, voltages exceeding 1000V may be used. Therefore, manual testing carries a high safety risk. Furthermore, the test results are also subject to error due to testing techniques, such as poor contact between the test probes and the cell.

[0003] Due to the unique nature of its manufacturing process, blade batteries require short-circuit testing of bare cells after lamination and hot pressing during the cell assembly stage. Short-circuit testing is also required after the negative electrode is placed in the casing, including between the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode top cover, between the negative electrode post and the casing, between the positive and negative electrode posts after a helium leak test, between the positive electrode post and the aluminum casing, and between the positive and negative electrode posts after electrolyte filling.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 7 It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and to facilitate understanding. They are not intended to limit the scope of the invention and therefore have no substantial technical significance.

Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of the invention.

[0037] Please see Figure 1This invention provides a multi-channel short-circuit testing device for blade batteries. The device includes: a test switch, a short-circuit tester 3, a control module 2, a human-machine interface 1, test circuitry, and a test fixture. The test fixture includes a mounting plate for mounting the test mechanism and positioning the battery cell 27 under test. The test mechanism includes a telescopic mechanism and a connecting block. The telescopic mechanism drives the connecting block to move, and a test probe is mounted on the connecting block. The test probe contacts the test portion of the battery cell 27 and forms a test circuit with the short-circuit tester through the test circuitry. The control module 2 is electrically connected to the human-machine interface 1, the short-circuit tester 3, and the telescopic mechanism. The human-machine interface 1 allows selection of test items. The control module 2 controls the telescopic mechanism to move the test probe to a predetermined test position according to the test item. The short-circuit tester performs the short-circuit test and outputs the test results.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic mechanism uses a cylinder (or an electric lead screw, etc.); the connecting block is specifically a probe mounting plate; the human-machine interface 1 is a function point selection screen; and the control module 2 is implemented by a PLC (programmable logic controller).

[0039] Control module 2 is electrically connected to human-machine interface 1, test switch, short-circuit tester 3, and telescopic mechanism (i.e., cylinder). The electrical connection between control module 2 and the cylinder is not... Figure 1 As shown in the image.

[0040] On the human-machine interface 1, a test item is selected. The control module 2 calls the preset control parameters corresponding to the test item and controls the telescopic mechanism (i.e., the cylinder) to drive the test probe to return to its position, placing the battery cell 27 under test into the test position. Four battery cell positioning blocks 16 are set around the test position to position the battery cell 27 under test. The control module 2 is activated by the test switch, which again controls the extension or retraction of the cylinder to achieve contact between the corresponding test probe and the test part of the battery cell 27 under test. The short-circuit tester 3 then issues the test result.

[0041] There are four test probes: the first test probe 12, the second test probe 23, the third test probe 26, and the fourth test probe 15. The connecting blocks (i.e., probe mounting plates) that drive the movement of the test probes are the first probe mounting plate 11, the second probe mounting plate 22, the third probe mounting plate 25, and the fourth probe mounting plate 14. The first test probe 12 and the second test probe 23 move vertically, while the third test probe 26 and the fourth test probe 15 move horizontally, aligning with different test locations on the tested cell 27. The first test probe 12 corresponds to the positive terminal (or positive electrode tab) of the tested cell 27; the second test probe 23 corresponds to the negative terminal or casing of the tested cell 27; the third test probe 26 corresponds to the negative terminal of the tested cell 27; and the fourth test probe 15 corresponds to the positive terminal of the tested cell 27.

[0042] The first cylinder 10 and the second cylinder 21 extend so that the first test probe 12 and the second test probe 23 can contact the test area; the third cylinder 24 and the fourth cylinder 13 retract so that the third test probe 26 and the fourth test probe 15 can contact the test area.

[0043] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The testing device has two mounting plates, one vertical and one horizontal, which are fixedly installed, namely the vertical mounting plate 7 and the horizontal mounting plate 28.

[0044] In one embodiment, the first cylinder 10 and the second cylinder 21 are directly mounted on the vertical mounting plate 7 (not shown) by fastening screws. The first cylinder 10 and the second cylinder 21 control the vertical movement of the first test probe 12 and the second test probe 23, respectively. In this case, the stroke of the cylinder is the vertical range of motion of the test probe.

[0045] In another embodiment, see Figure 1 To increase the vertical movement space of the test probes and facilitate the placement and removal of the battery cell 27 under test, a fifth cylinder 8 can be provided. This fifth cylinder 8 is connected to both the first cylinder 10 and the second cylinder 21 via a horizontal connecting plate 9. This controls the vertical movement of the first cylinder 10 and the second cylinder 21, thereby increasing the range of motion of the first test probe 12 and the second test probe 23. The extension or retraction of the fifth cylinder 8 can cause the first cylinder 10 and the second cylinder 21 to move downwards or upwards over a longer stroke range. This allows the first test probes 12 and 23 to be kept away from the horizontal mounting plate 28 before placing the battery cell 27 under test, preventing them from being damaged by contact. With the fifth cylinder 8 extended, further adjustments to the first cylinder 10 and the second cylinder 21 can cause the first test probes 12 and 23 to contact or move away from the battery cell 27 under test.

[0046] Furthermore, the connecting plate 9 and the fifth cylinder 8 are connected by a guide rail 19 and a slider 20 to prevent the fifth cylinder 8 from jamming. At this time, the vertical mounting plate 7 is used to mount the fifth cylinder 8 and the guide rail 19, etc. The fifth cylinder 8 is mounted on the vertical mounting plate 7 by fastening screws 18; the first cylinder 10 and the second cylinder 21 are mounted on the connecting plate 9 by fastening screws.

[0047] In both of the above embodiments, the third cylinder 24 and the fourth cylinder 13 are mounted on the horizontal mounting plate 28 by fastening screws.

[0048] It should be noted that the installation method of the first cylinder 10 and the second cylinder 21 is not limited to the two methods mentioned above, as long as the requirements of the first test probe 12 and the second test probe 23 contacting or leaving the specific test part are met.

[0049] In one embodiment, the vertical mounting plate 7 also has a wiring transition panel 5 for electrical connections between the short-circuit tester 3 and the test probe, and between the control module 2 and the telescopic mechanism (i.e., the cylinder). In this way, the test circuit 4 and the control circuit 6 are neatly arranged, making the testing device more stable and reliable.

[0050] In one embodiment, the test switch for starting the test is a dual start button 17. The test will only start when both buttons are in the start state, so as to ensure that the test start is safe and reliable and to prevent accidental activation of the test device due to accidental touch, which could cause damage to the object or injury to the person.

[0051] The short-circuit testing device of this invention also has multi-channel testing capabilities. The control module 2 has preset cylinder extension / retraction parameters corresponding to various test combinations. These test combinations include at least: short-circuit testing of bare cells after lamination, short-circuit testing between the positive and negative terminals of the cell after casing, short-circuit testing between the negative terminal of the cell and the casing after casing, short-circuit testing between the positive and negative terminals after a helium detector test, short-circuit testing between the positive terminal and the casing after a helium detector test, and short-circuit testing between the positive and negative terminals after electrolyte injection. Corresponding to these test combinations, multiple test items are displayed on the human-machine interface for the operator to select the specific test content.

[0052] See Figures 2 to 6 The figure shows multiple short-circuit test sites during the standard assembly process of the blade battery. Due to the unique nature of its manufacturing process, the blade battery requires a short-circuit test after lamination and hot pressing during the cell assembly stage, i.e., a bare cell short-circuit test (see...). Figure 3 After the negative terminal of the battery cell is inserted into the casing, a short-circuit test is performed, including a short-circuit test between the positive terminal tab and the negative terminal top cover (see...). Figure 4 Short-circuit test between the negative terminal and the casing (see...) Figure 5 After a helium detector test, a short-circuit test is performed, including a short-circuit test between the positive and negative terminals (see...). Figure 6 Short circuit test between the positive terminal and the aluminum casing (see) Figure 7 After injection, perform short-circuit test 4, i.e., short-circuit test between the positive and negative terminals (see...). Figure 6 ).

[0053] This invention also provides a multi-channel short-circuit test method for blade batteries, using the multi-channel short-circuit test device for blade batteries described in the above embodiments. As a specific embodiment, the test steps include:

[0054] The operator selects a test item on the human-machine interface 1.

[0055] In the repositioning step, control module 2 calls the preset parameters corresponding to the test item and controls the telescopic mechanism to drive the test probe to reposition.

[0058] Control module 2 controls the corresponding test probe to contact the test part of the battery cell 27 under test;

[0059] The short-circuit tester 3 issues the test result and returns to the reset step;
