Description

Battery position detection methods, apparatus, equipment, storage media, and software products Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery transfer technology, and in particular to a battery position detection method, apparatus, device, storage medium, and program product. Background Technology

[0002] To improve battery quality, it is often necessary to test the battery, such as performing charge-discharge tests. For the test to proceed smoothly, the battery needs to be placed in a designated location on the testing equipment.

[0003] Currently, batteries are manually placed into the testing device for testing. If the battery is not placed in the designated position of the testing device, it will affect the battery test. Therefore, how to detect whether the battery is placed in the designated position has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a battery position detection method, apparatus, device, storage medium, and program product to address the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] Firstly, this application provides a battery position detection method. The method includes:

[0006] Acquire the first pressure values ​​collected by sensors placed at different locations on the battery in the testing device;

[0007] The first pressure value collected by each sensor is compared with a preset threshold to obtain the comparison result;

[0008] The battery's position detection result is determined based on this comparison.

[0009] The method provided in this application embodiment acquires the first pressure value collected by sensors set at different positions of the battery in the testing device, compares the first pressure value collected by each sensor with a preset threshold to obtain a comparison result, determines the battery position detection result based on the comparison result, and determines whether the battery is placed in a specified position based on the position detection result. The position detection result can provide a reference for whether the battery placement position needs to be adjusted manually or by scheduling an unmanned transport vehicle to adjust the battery placement position, thereby improving the battery testing efficiency.

[0010] In one embodiment, determining the location detection result based on the comparison result includes:

[0011] If the first pressure value collected by each of the sensors in the comparison results is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the position detection result is determined to be that the battery has been placed in the designated position in the test device.

[0012] The method provided in this application determines the position detection result as the battery being placed in a designated position in the testing device when the first pressure value collected by each sensor in the comparison result is greater than or equal to a preset threshold. Thus, the battery is tested and the test result is obtained when the battery is placed in the designated position in the testing device, which can improve the accuracy of the test result compared to the test result obtained when the battery is not placed in the designated position.

[0013] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0014] If, in the comparison results, at least one of the sensor's first pressure values ​​is less than the preset threshold, the location detection result is determined to be that the battery is not placed in the designated position in the testing device.

[0015] The method provided in this application embodiment determines the position detection result as the battery not being placed in the designated position in the testing device when the first pressure value of at least one sensor is less than a preset threshold in the comparison results. In the case where the battery is not placed in the designated position in the testing device, the battery placement position can be manually adjusted subsequently, thereby reducing the probability of obtaining a less accurate test result when the battery is not placed in the designated position in the testing device.

[0016] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0017] If the detection result at this location indicates that the battery is not placed in the designated location, a battery position adjustment command is sent to the transport equipment; the battery position adjustment command is used to instruct the transport equipment to adjust the position of the battery.

[0018] The method provided in this application sends a battery position adjustment command to the transport device when the position detection result indicates that the battery is not placed in the designated position. This enables automatic adjustment of the battery's position in the testing device without the need for manual adjustment, thereby reducing labor costs and increasing the probability of the battery being placed in the designated position in the testing device, thus improving the accuracy of the test results.

[0019] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0020] Obtain the second pressure value collected by each sensor after the battery position is adjusted;

[0021] If at least one of the second pressure values ​​is less than the preset threshold, obtain the total number of times the battery position is adjusted.

[0022] If the total number of attempts is less than the preset number of attempts, then return to the step of sending the battery position adjustment command to the transport equipment.

[0023] The method provided in this application obtains the second pressure values ​​collected by each sensor after the battery position is adjusted, and if at least one second pressure value is less than a preset threshold, obtains the total number of battery position adjustments. If the total number is less than the preset number, the method returns to the step of sending a battery position adjustment command to the transport device. This enables the battery to be automatically adjusted by the transport device if it is still not placed in the designated position after the battery position is adjusted. Since there is no need for manual adjustment of the battery position, the labor cost is reduced and the probability of the battery being placed in the designated position in the testing device is increased, thereby improving the accuracy of the test results.

[0024] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0025] If the total number of attempts is not less than the preset number of attempts, a first fault notification message is sent to the test system; the first fault notification message is used to indicate that the battery is not placed in the specified location.

[0026] The method provided in this application embodiment, after adjusting the position of the battery on the transport equipment, if the battery is still not in the designated position, promptly sends a first fault notification message to the testing system, so that the testing system can send the first fault notification message to the relevant personnel's email or mobile phone, so that the relevant personnel can adjust the battery's position in a timely manner.

[0027] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0028] If each of the second pressure values ​​is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the transportation equipment is scheduled to perform the next task.

[0029] The method provided in this application embodiment schedules the transportation equipment to perform the next task when each second pressure value is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, thereby improving the utilization of the transportation equipment.

[0030] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0031] Receive a second fault notification message sent by the transport equipment; the second fault notification message is triggered when the transport equipment detects that an item has been placed on the test device.

[0032] The second fault notification message is sent to the testing system; the second fault notification message is used to indicate that an item has been placed on the testing device.

[0033] The method provided in this application embodiment receives a second fault notification message sent by a transportation device and sends a second fault notification message to a testing system to indicate that an item has been placed on the testing device. This allows the testing system to send the second fault notification message to the target terminal used by relevant personnel. After receiving the second fault notification message, the relevant personnel can handle the fault, reduce the time that the transportation device is in a waiting state, and thus improve testing efficiency.

[0034] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0035] Receive a third fault notification message sent by the transport equipment; the third fault notification message is triggered when the transport equipment determines that the extension arm of the transport equipment is abnormal;

[0036] The third fault notification information is sent to the testing system; the third fault notification information is used to indicate an abnormality in the arm of the transport equipment.

[0037] The method provided in this application embodiment receives a third fault notification message sent by the transport equipment and sends a third fault notification message to the test system to indicate that the extension arm of the transport equipment is abnormal. This allows the test system to send the third fault notification message to the target terminal used by relevant personnel. After receiving the third fault notification message, the relevant personnel can handle the fault, reduce the time that the extension arm of the transport equipment is in an abnormal state, and thus improve the test efficiency.

[0038] Secondly, this application also provides a battery position detection device. The device includes:

[0039] The first acquisition module is used to acquire the first pressure value collected by the sensors set at different positions of the battery in the test device;

[0040] The comparison module is used to compare the first pressure value collected by each sensor with a preset threshold to obtain the comparison result;

[0041] The determination module is used to determine the position detection result of the battery based on the comparison result.

[0042] Thirdly, this application also provides a computer device. The computer device includes a memory and a processor, the memory storing a computer program, and the processor executing the computer program to implement the steps of the methods provided in the above embodiments.

[0043] Fourthly, this application also provides a computer-readable storage medium. This computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the methods provided in the above embodiments.

[0055] The embodiments of the technical solution of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application and are therefore merely examples, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0056] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing description of the drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0057] In the description of the embodiments of this application, technical terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number, specific order, or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly defined.

[0058] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0059] In the description of the embodiments in this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0060] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the term "multiple" refers to two or more (including two), similarly, "multiple sets" refers to two or more (including two sets), and "multiple pieces" refers to two or more (including two pieces).

[0061] To improve battery quality, it is often necessary to test the battery, such as performing charge-discharge tests. For the test to proceed smoothly, the battery needs to be placed in a designated location on the testing equipment.

[0062] Currently, batteries are manually placed into the testing device for testing. If the battery is not placed in the designated position of the testing device, it will affect the battery test. Therefore, how to detect whether the battery is placed in the designated position has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0063] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a battery position detection method. This method acquires pressure values ​​collected by sensors placed at different locations on the battery in a testing device, compares the pressure values ​​collected by each sensor with a preset threshold, obtains a comparison result, determines the battery position detection result based on the comparison result, and determines whether the battery is placed in a specified location based on the position detection result.

[0064] In this embodiment, a scheduling system can be used to dispatch unmanned transport vehicles to move batteries from the transfer and placement starting point and place them into the testing device. Pressure values ​​collected by sensors positioned at different locations on the battery within the testing device can then be obtained. The unmanned transport vehicle can be an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV). The transfer and placement starting point can be a sampling area on a sampling shelf, and the testing device is an area within a testing chamber, accommodating one battery per device. For ease of subsequent explanation, the transfer and placement starting point and the testing device will be collectively referred to as the target placement point.

[0065] The shelves and test boxes can be multi-layered and multi-column. Based on the target placement point's location information, the AGV can retrieve batteries from the transfer and placement starting point and place them into the testing device. The location information of the transfer and placement starting point can include: the shelf number of the sampling shelf, the unit number, and the sampling area number where the transfer and placement starting point is located. One shelf number corresponds to one sampling shelf, one sampling shelf can include multiple unit numbers, one unit number can correspond to one column of sampling areas, and all sampling areas corresponding to one unit number can be numbered. One sampling area corresponds to one sampling area number, and one sampling area can be used to place one battery. For example, if the location information of the transfer and placement starting point is 4-1-6, it indicates that the transfer and placement starting point is the sampling area numbered 6 in the first column of shelf number 4.

[0066] Regarding the location information of the testing device, this information can indicate the channel number of the test box. One channel number corresponds to one test channel, and this test channel is called the testing device. For example, the location information is area code-unit number-channel number, where the area code indicates the area where the test box is located. One test box can include multiple unit numbers, and one unit number can correspond to one or more rows of test channels. All test channels corresponding to a unit number can be numbered, with one test channel corresponding to one channel number. One test channel can be used to place one battery. For example, if a unit includes 10 test channels, the 10 test channels can be numbered sequentially, from 1 to 10.

[0067] Two-dimensional column identifiers, including column identification information, can be affixed to the bottom of each column of the sampling rack and test box. These column identifiers are also unique within the scheduling system. During map construction, the scheduling system sets the column identifiers on the map, ensuring their unique location. The system stores a one-to-one correspondence between location information and location codes. Based on the location information and the stored correspondence, the scheduling system determines the location code corresponding to the transfer and placement starting point and the location code corresponding to the testing device, and then sends these codes to the AGV.

[0068] The location code is generated based on the column information and layer information of the target placement point within the battery housing. For example, the location code could be 20000122502013. In this code, "2013" represents column information (the column identifier of the target placement point within the battery housing) and "2" represents layer information (the layer number of the target placement point within the battery housing). Therefore, "2013" indicates that the target placement point is located in the 2nd layer, 13th column of the battery housing. The battery housing may include a sampling shelf or a testing chamber.

[0069] After the AGV reaches the target location, it can scan the two-dimensional column identification code affixed to the battery housing and calculate the target height based on the layer information in the location code using the following formula:

[0070] Target height = Scan height + (Number of layers - 1) * Preset layer height

[0071] The scanning height here refers to the height of the column identifier corresponding to the target placement point from the ground. The layer number refers to the layer number of the target placement point in the battery housing device. The preset layer height refers to the height of each layer in the battery housing device where the target placement point is located.

[0072] After calculating the target height, the AGV can retrieve the battery from the transfer and placement starting point and place it into the testing device according to the target height.

[0073] The battery position detection method provided in this application embodiment is applied to a computer device, which can be a terminal, and its internal structure diagram is shown in Figure 1. The computer device includes a processor, memory, communication interface, display screen, and input device connected via a system bus. The processor of the computer device provides computing and control capabilities. The memory of the computer device includes a non-volatile storage medium and internal memory. The non-volatile storage medium stores an operating system and computer programs. The internal memory provides an environment for the operation of the operating system and computer programs in the non-volatile storage medium. The communication interface of the computer device is used for wired or wireless communication with external terminals. Wireless communication can be achieved through WIFI, mobile cellular networks, NFC (Near Field Communication), or other wireless communication technologies. When the computer program is executed by the processor, it can implement a battery position detection method. The display screen of the computer device can be a liquid crystal display screen or an e-ink display screen. The input device of the computer device can be a touch layer covering the display screen, or buttons, a trackball, or a touchpad set on the casing of the computer device, or an external keyboard, touchpad, or mouse, etc.

[0074] Those skilled in the art will understand that the structure shown in Figure 1 is merely a block diagram of a portion of the structure related to the present application and does not constitute a limitation on the computer device to which the present application is applied. Specific computer devices may include more or fewer components than those shown in the figure, or may combine certain components, or may have different component arrangements.

[0075] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG2, FIG2 is a schematic flowchart of a battery position detection method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method is applied to the computer device shown in FIG1, and includes the following steps:

[0076] S201. Obtain the first pressure value collected by the sensors set at different positions of the battery in the test device.

[0077] To test the battery, it must be placed in a designated location within the testing apparatus. This can be done manually or using automated equipment such as AGVs. The scheduling system is deployed within the computer equipment shown in Figure 1. A test chamber can contain multiple testing units, and each testing unit can hold one battery.

[0078] When placing batteries, there may be instances where the battery is not positioned correctly within the testing device. To determine if the battery is properly positioned and to improve the efficiency of subsequent battery testing, since batteries are typically rectangular and the testing device is also rectangular, this application embodiment can place sensors at different locations within the testing device. The sensor placement methods include, but are not limited to, placing one sensor at each of the four corners, or placing one sensor at each of the four corners and the midpoint of each of the four side borders of the testing device. The sensors include, but are not limited to, piezoresistive sensors, pressure sensors, and piezoelectric sensors.

[0079] Taking the placement of one sensor at each of the four corners of the testing device as an example, a total of sensor 1, sensor 2, sensor 3, and sensor 4 are provided, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a computer device acquiring the first pressure value collected by the sensors according to an embodiment of this application. The programmable logic controller (PLC) of the test box can read the first pressure value collected by the corresponding sensor. The PLC can send the first pressure value to the computer device with a scheduling system deployed through the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Figure 3 shows PLC1, PLC2, PLC3, and PLC4. PLC1 reads the first pressure value collected by the corresponding sensor 1, PLC2 reads the first pressure value collected by the corresponding sensor 2, PLC3 reads the first pressure value collected by the corresponding sensor 3, and PLC4 reads the first pressure value collected by the corresponding sensor 4.

[0080] The scheduling system can be used to schedule AGVs to transport batteries to the testing device, and it can also receive the first pressure value sent by the PLC.

[0081] It should be noted that the scheduling system can send a read command to the PLC. After receiving the read command, the PLC reads the first pressure value from the sensor and sends the read first pressure value to the scheduling system, thus enabling the scheduling system to obtain the first pressure value. Alternatively, the PLC can read the first pressure value collected by the sensor at preset intervals and send the first pressure value to the scheduling system, thus enabling the scheduling system to obtain the first pressure value.

[0082] S202. Compare the first pressure value collected by each sensor with the preset threshold to obtain the comparison result.

[0083] The computer device can compare the first pressure values ​​collected by each sensor with a preset threshold to determine whether the first pressure value is greater than or equal to the preset threshold. The preset threshold can be set according to the weight or capacity of the battery. If a first pressure value is less than the preset threshold, the comparison result will include the result where the first pressure value is less than the preset threshold.

[0084] The difference between the first pressure value and the preset threshold can be calculated. If the difference is greater than 0, it means that the first pressure value is greater than the preset threshold; if the difference is less than 0, it means that the first pressure value is less than the preset threshold; if the difference is equal to 0, it means that the first pressure value is equal to the preset threshold.

[0085] Alternatively, the ratio of the first pressure value to the preset threshold can be calculated. If the ratio is greater than 1, it means that the first pressure value is greater than the preset threshold; if the ratio is less than 1, it means that the first pressure value is less than the preset threshold; if the ratio is equal to 1, it means that the first pressure value is equal to the preset threshold.

[0086] S203. Determine the battery position detection result based on the comparison results.

[0087] Since the comparison result between the first pressure value and the preset threshold can reflect whether the battery is placed in the designated position of the test device, the position detection result of the battery can be determined based on the comparison result, that is, whether the battery is placed in the designated position of the test device.

[0088] The method provided in this application embodiment acquires the first pressure value collected by sensors set at different positions of the battery in the testing device, compares the first pressure value collected by each sensor with a preset threshold to obtain a comparison result, determines the battery position detection result based on the comparison result, and determines whether the battery is placed in a specified position based on the position detection result. The position detection result can provide a reference for whether the battery placement position needs to be adjusted manually or by scheduling an unmanned transport vehicle to adjust the battery placement position, thereby improving the battery testing efficiency.

[0089] In some embodiments, the above-described S203 can be implemented in the following manner:

[0090] If the first pressure value collected by each sensor in the comparison results is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the position detection result is determined to be that the battery has been placed in the designated position in the test device.

[0091] The method provided in this application determines the position detection result as the battery being placed in a designated position in the testing device when the first pressure value collected by each sensor in the comparison result is greater than or equal to a preset threshold. Thus, the battery is tested and the test result is obtained when the battery is placed in the designated position in the testing device, which can improve the accuracy of the test result compared to the test result obtained when the battery is not placed in the designated position.

[0092] In some embodiments, the method may further include:

[0093] If, in the comparison results, the first pressure value of at least one sensor is less than a preset threshold, the position detection result is determined to be that the battery is not placed in the designated position in the test device.

[0094] The method provided in this application embodiment determines the position detection result as the battery not being placed in the designated position in the testing device when the first pressure value of at least one sensor is less than a preset threshold in the comparison results. In the case where the battery is not placed in the designated position in the testing device, the battery placement position can be manually adjusted subsequently, thereby reducing the probability of obtaining a less accurate test result when the battery is not placed in the designated position in the testing device.

[0095] In some embodiments, the method may further include:

[0096] If the location detection result indicates that the battery is not placed in the designated location, a battery position adjustment command is sent to the transport equipment; the battery position adjustment command is used to instruct the transport equipment to adjust the position of the battery.

[0097] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, if the position detection result indicates that the battery is not placed in the designated location, the computer device can send a battery position adjustment command to the transport device to instruct the transport device to adjust the battery's position. The transport device can be an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle). After receiving the battery position adjustment command, the transport device can remove the battery from the testing device and place it in the AGV's bin or on a shelf. Then, it can remove the battery from the bin or shelf again and place it back into the testing device, thereby adjusting the battery's position within the testing device.

[0098] The method provided in this application sends a battery position adjustment command to the transport device when the position detection result indicates that the battery is not placed in the designated position. This enables automatic adjustment of the battery's position in the testing device without the need for manual adjustment, thereby reducing labor costs and increasing the probability of the battery being placed in the designated position in the testing device, thus improving the accuracy of the test results.

[0099] Referring to Figure 4, which is a flowchart illustrating a battery position adjustment method according to an embodiment of this application, the method may include the following steps:

[0100] S401. Obtain the second pressure value collected by each sensor after the battery position is adjusted.

[0101] The second pressure value collected by each sensor after the battery position is adjusted is the same as the method for obtaining the first pressure value described in the above embodiment, so it will not be repeated here.

[0102] S402. If at least one second pressure value is less than a preset threshold, obtain the total number of times the battery position is adjusted.

[0103] S403. If the total number of attempts is less than the preset number of attempts, return to the step of sending a battery position adjustment command to the transport equipment.

[0104] The preset number of adjustments is, for example, 3. This preset number can be set according to actual needs, limiting the maximum number of adjustments allowed. For instance, if the total number of battery position adjustments is 1, and the preset number is 3, and the total number is less than the preset number, the process can return to the step of sending a battery position adjustment command to the transport equipment to adjust the battery position again. After adjusting the battery position, the second pressure values ​​collected by each sensor after the adjustment can be acquired.

[0105] The method provided in this application obtains the second pressure values ​​collected by each sensor after the battery position is adjusted, and if at least one second pressure value is less than a preset threshold, obtains the total number of battery position adjustments. If the total number is less than the preset number, the method returns to the step of sending a battery position adjustment command to the transport device. This enables the battery to be automatically adjusted by the transport device if it is still not placed in the designated position after the battery position is adjusted. Since there is no need for manual adjustment of the battery position, the labor cost is reduced and the probability of the battery being placed in the designated position in the testing device is increased, thereby improving the accuracy of the test results.

[0106] In some embodiments, the method may further include:

[0107] If the total number of attempts is not less than the preset number of attempts, a first fault notification message is sent to the test system; the first fault notification message is used to indicate that the battery is not placed in the specified location.

[0108] If the total number of battery position adjustments is not less than the preset number, it means that after the battery position was adjusted by the transport equipment, the battery is still not placed in the designated position in the test device. In this case, the computer equipment can send a first fault notification message to the test system. The test system can send the first fault notification message to the relevant personnel's email or mobile phone so that the relevant personnel can reposition the battery or perform other processing.

[0109] The method provided in this application embodiment, after adjusting the position of the battery on the transport equipment, if the battery is still not in the designated position, promptly sends a first fault notification message to the testing system, so that the testing system can send the first fault notification message to the relevant personnel's email or mobile phone, so that the relevant personnel can adjust the battery's position in a timely manner.

[0110] In some embodiments, the method may further include:

[0111] If all second pressure values ​​are greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the transportation equipment is scheduled to perform the next task.

[0112] If all the second pressure values ​​are greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it means that the battery has been placed in the designated location. Therefore, in this case, the computer equipment can schedule the transportation equipment to perform the next task.

[0113] The method provided in this application embodiment schedules the transportation equipment to perform the next task when each second pressure value is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, thereby improving the utilization of the transportation equipment.

[0114] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5, FIG5 is a flowchart illustrating a fault notification information sending method provided in this application embodiment. This embodiment relates to a situation where, when a transport device moves a battery to the location of a testing device, if the transport device detects that an item has already been placed on the testing device, the transport device cannot place the battery in the testing device. Simultaneously, the transport device needs to send a fault notification information to a computer device deployed with a scheduling system to notify that an item has been placed on the testing device. This method may include the following steps:

[0115] S501, Receive a second fault notification message sent by the transport equipment; the second fault notification message is triggered when the transport equipment detects that an item has been placed on the test device.

[0116] When the transport equipment moves the battery to the location of the testing device, the laser sensor on the arm of the transport equipment will detect the status of the testing device in real time. If it detects that there is an item in the testing device, the transport equipment will stop performing the task and send a second fault notification to the dispatch system. The dispatch system will report the second fault notification to the testing system, and the testing system will notify relevant personnel to handle the issue via email or other means.

[0117] S502, Send a second fault notification message to the test system; the second fault notification message is used to indicate that an item has been placed on the test device.

[0118] The method provided in this application embodiment receives a second fault notification message sent by a transportation device and sends a second fault notification message to a testing system to indicate that an item has been placed on the testing device. This allows the testing system to send the second fault notification message to the target terminal used by relevant personnel. After receiving the second fault notification message, the relevant personnel can handle the fault, reduce the time that the transportation device is in a waiting state, and thus improve testing efficiency.

[0119] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6, FIG6 is a flowchart illustrating another fault notification information sending method provided in this application embodiment. This embodiment relates to a situation where, during the process of a transport device placing a battery into a testing device, if a pin in the testing device is pushed out, the insertion arm of the transport device is jammed by the pin, preventing the battery from being placed into the testing device. In this case, the transport device stops performing its task, and simultaneously needs to send a fault notification information to a computer device deployed with a scheduling system to indicate that the insertion arm of the transport device is malfunctioning. The method may include the following steps:

[0120] S601, Receive the third fault notification information sent by the transport equipment; the third fault notification information is the information triggered when the transport equipment determines that the extension arm of the transport equipment is abnormal.

[0121] S602, Send a third fault notification message to the test system; the third fault notification message is used to indicate an abnormality in the boom of the transport equipment.

[0122] If the ejector pin in the testing device is in the extended position during the battery placement process by the transport equipment, the insertion arm of the transport equipment will be jammed by the ejector pin, indicating an abnormal state. In this abnormal state, the transport equipment stops performing its task and sends a third fault notification to the dispatch system. The dispatch system then reports this third fault notification to the testing system, which notifies relevant personnel via email or other means for further action.

[0123] The method provided in this application embodiment receives a third fault notification message sent by the transport equipment and sends a third fault notification message to the test system to indicate that the extension arm of the transport equipment is abnormal. This allows the test system to send the third fault notification message to the target terminal used by relevant personnel. After receiving the third fault notification message, the relevant personnel can handle the fault, reduce the time that the extension arm of the transport equipment is in an abnormal state, and thus improve the test efficiency.

[0127] S703, The scheduling system determines whether each pressure value is greater than the preset threshold.

[0128] If all pressure values ​​are greater than the preset threshold, it is determined that the battery has been placed in the designated position in the testing device, and S704 is executed; if at least one pressure value is greater than the preset threshold, S705 is executed to adjust the position of the battery.

[0129] S704, The dispatching system dispatches transportation equipment to perform the next task.

[0130] S705, The scheduling system determines whether the total number of battery position adjustments is less than the preset number.

[0131] If the number of attempts is less than the preset number, then execute S706; if the number of attempts is not less than the preset number, then execute S707.

[0132] S706, The dispatching system sends a battery position adjustment instruction to the transportation equipment and executes S708.

[0133] S707, The scheduling system sends the first fault notification information to the test system.

[0134] S708, The transport equipment removes the battery from the test device based on the battery position adjustment command and places the battery in the target position.

[0135] The target location can be an empty space in the transport equipment's own bin, or it can be on other shelves used to store batteries.

[0136] S709. The transport equipment removes the battery from the target location, puts the battery back into the test device, and returns to execute S702.
