[0001] This invention relates to a manual / automatic compatible needle plate changing mechanism for charging and discharging square power lithium-ion batteries, belonging to the field of lithium battery testing equipment manufacturing. Background Technology
[0002] The new energy vehicle industry is developing rapidly. As the market share of new energy vehicles continues to increase, the production of square batteries is expanding. However, there are many types of square battery specifications and the pace of updates and iterations is extremely fast.
[0003] Traditional testing equipment, such as probe presses, is primarily designed for single-specification batteries or can accommodate a small number of different specifications. However, adjustments are performed manually, requiring operation from both sides. This process is cumbersome and involves disassembling and reassembling parts. Furthermore, the operation on the stacker crane side involves working at height, posing significant safety risks. When battery production changes, prolonged production line downtime can result in substantial losses.
[0004] For the reasons mentioned above, charging and discharging equipment that is compatible with multiple battery specifications and can automatically or quickly and easily change batteries manually has become an important market demand and development trend. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a manual / automatic compatible needle plate changing mechanism for charging and discharging square power lithium-ion batteries. This invention allows for single-sided operation and employs a series of mechanisms including upper and lower rack engagement, linear guide spacing adjustment, linkage, motion direction conversion, positioning pin adjustment, and spring preload. This achieves both manual and automatic adjustment of the spacing between the positive and negative electrode probe assemblies (requiring corresponding automatic changing fixtures).

[0054] The principle behind this invention's implementation of manual / automatic adjustment is as follows:
[0055] Automatic adjustment process: When the changing fixture is raised to the position, during the raising process, the changing guide pin 40 on the changing fixture lifts the upper rack 18 by lifting the lifting plate 20, thereby disengaging the upper rack 18 and the lower rack 23. At the same time, the adjusting pin 35 on the probe plate assembly 14 is precisely engaged in the top block of the changing fixture. The motor inside the changing fixture drives the lead screw 42 to rotate, and the lead screw 42 drives the second slider 37 to slide back and forth. The top block 41 opens and closes, thereby driving the probe plate assembly 14 to open and close on the linear guide rail 21, achieving the purpose of adjusting the probe 19 spacing.
[0056] Manual adjustment process: During the tightening of the adjusting screw on the adjusting screw mounting block 30, the adjusting block 26 is pushed to move. The lifting block 28 and the adjusting block 26 are an integral connection structure. The lifting block 28 moves, driving the roller 25 to rise. Since the rack reinforcing rib 27, the reinforcing connecting shaft 33 and the upper rack 18 are connected as one unit, the upper rack 18 will rise synchronously and disengage from the lower rack 23. The operator manually moves the probe plate assembly 14 to slide it on the linear guide rail 21 to the designated position. The adjustment is confirmed by the needle plate scale 32. The adjusting screw is loosened, and the upper rack 18 will automatically fall back due to the presence of the rectangular spring and engage with the lower rack 23, completing the position adjustment.
[0057] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.

The manual / automatic compatible needle plate changing mechanism for charging and discharging square power lithium-ion batteries as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The changeover fixture includes a frame, on which several changeover guide pins (40) are spaced apart in the left and right directions on both sides. The changeover guide pins (40) correspond to the lifting components (9). Several guide seat connecting plates (39) are arranged side by side in the front and back directions on the frame. Top blocks (41) are respectively provided at both ends of the several guide seat connecting plates (39). The installation position of the top blocks (41) corresponds to the adjustment pins (35). The several guide seat connecting plates (39) are slidably arranged on the frame and slide in the front and back directions. The changeover guide pins (40) move upward and lift the upper rack (18) through the lifting components (9). At the same time, the adjustment pins (35) are inserted into the top blocks (41). The adjustment pins (35) adjust the spacing of the probes (19) by sliding the guide seat connecting plates (39) back and forth.
3. The manual / automatic compatible needle plate changing mechanism for charging and discharging square power lithium-ion batteries as described in claim 2, characterized in that... The bottom of the guide seat connecting plate (39) is provided with a second slider (37), and a slide rail is provided on the frame along the front-back direction. The second slider (37) is slidably connected to the slide rail and can move along the slide rail in the front-back direction.
4. A manual / automatic compatible needle plate changing mechanism for charging and discharging square power lithium-ion batteries as described in claim 2 or 3, characterized in that, The frame is equipped with a motor (38) and a lead screw (42). The output shaft of the motor (38) is connected to the lead screw (42). The lead screw (42) is arranged in the front-back direction and is connected to the guide seat connecting plate (39). The motor (38) controls the lead screw (42) to rotate, and the lead screw (42) drives the slider to move in the front-back direction.
5. The manual / automatic compatible needle plate changing mechanism for charging and discharging square power lithium-ion batteries as described in claim 2, characterized in that, The lifting assembly (9) includes lifting plates (20) arranged in the left and right directions, with one plate at the front and one at the back. The two ends of the lifting plates (20) connect the upper racks (18) in the left and right directions together.
6. The manual / automatic compatible needle plate changing mechanism for charging and discharging square power lithium-ion batteries as described in claim 1, characterized in that, A needle plate scale (32) is provided between the positive electrode probe plate (12) and the negative electrode probe plate (13) to determine the adjustment position.
7. The manual / automatic compatible needle plate changing mechanism for charging and discharging square power lithium-ion batteries as described in claim 1, characterized in that, Linear bearings (24) are respectively provided at both ends of the adjustment connecting shaft (29).
8. The manual / automatic compatible needle plate changing mechanism for charging and discharging square power lithium-ion batteries as described in claim 1, characterized in that, It also includes a temperature probe plate assembly, which is disposed between the positive electrode probe plate (12) and the negative electrode probe plate (13) for detecting the temperature of the lithium battery.
