DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solution of this patent is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0023] Embodiment 1: Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a battery charging and discharging probe of the utility model includes at least two probes 10 and a shell 12. The probes 10 are arranged in the shell 12 and the ends of the probes 10 extend out of the shell 12. A gap is left between the two probes 10. The length of the gap is greater than the diameter of the injection port 36. The distance between the two probes 10 is greater than the diameter of the explosion-proof valve 34 and less than the diameter of the sealing rubber ring 38.

[0024] The distance between the two probes 10 can effectively prevent the probes from contacting the sealing rubber ring 38 and the explosion-proof valve 34. The design of the gap prevents the probes 10 from contacting the injection port 36 during the test, thereby preventing current instability during the test.

[0025] The inner cylinder 14 is provided with a plurality of through slots 16 extending in the axial direction thereof. The through slots 16 are arranged in a circumferential array. The probes 10 are arranged in the through slots 16 and can slide in the through slots 16 along the diameter direction of the inner cylinder 14.

[0026] The probes 10 are slidably disposed in the through slots 16 , and the distance between the probes 10 can be adjusted according to the specifications of the battery, thereby preventing the probes 10 from contacting the explosion-proof valve 34 or the sealing rubber ring 38 .

[0027] A through groove 18 is provided at the center of the inner cylinder 14 along its axial direction, a connecting rod 24 is provided in the through groove 18, a first rotating plate 20 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 24 close to the probe, and a second rotating plate 22 is provided at the other end of the connecting rod 24, a plurality of arc grooves 26 corresponding to the through grooves 16 are provided on the first rotating plate 20 and the second rotating plate 22, and the probe 10 passes through the arc grooves 26;

[0028] By rotating the first rotating plate 20, the probe 10 slides in the radial direction of the inner cylinder 14 under the limitation of the arc groove 26 and the through groove 16, so as to adjust the distance between the probes 10. The first rotating plate 20 and the second rotating plate 22 are connected by the connecting rod 24, so that the first rotating plate 20 and the second rotating plate 22 rotate synchronously, and the two ends of the probe 10 are driven at the same time to prevent the probe 10 from tilting.

[0029] The length of the shell 12 is greater than the length of the inner tube 14, and the shell 12 is connected to the inner tube 14;

[0030] The housing 12 is longer than the inner cylinder 14 , and can protect the portion of the probe 10 that extends beyond the second rotating plate 22 .

[0031] An end cap 32 is provided on the side of the housing 12 away from the probe, and a wire groove for the wire to pass through is opened on the end cap 32;

[0032] The end cap 32 is used to protect the probe 10 to prevent foreign matter from entering the housing 12 and affecting the detection of the probe 10 .

[0033] The probe 10 is provided with a limiting ring 30 located on a side opposite to the first rotating plate 20 and the second rotating plate 22;

[0034] The limiting ring 30 is used for limiting the position to prevent the probe 10 from being displaced relative to the first rotating plate 20 and the second rotating plate 22 along the length direction thereof.

[0035] The length of the connecting rod 24 is greater than that of the inner tube 14 . An annular groove is formed at one end of the shell 12 facing the probe, and a protrusion corresponding to the annular groove is provided on the first rotating plate 20 .

[0036] The protrusion corresponds to the annular groove, and a certain friction force exists between the protrusion and the annular groove in a plug-in and pull-out manner, so that the first rotating plate 20 is not easy to rotate without the action of external force.

[0037] Working principle: When in use, two probes 10 can be designed according to different specifications of batteries. By aligning the gap between the two probes 10 with the liquid injection port 36, it can be prevented that during the test, the probe 10 contacts the liquid injection port 36 and affects the test;

[0038] A plurality of movable probes 10 may also be designed. For batteries of different specifications, the distance between the probes 10 may be adjusted to adapt to the specifications of the batteries. The specific steps are as follows: the first rotating plate 20 is pulled outward to separate the protrusion 28 from the annular groove, and then the first rotating plate 20 is rotated. The first rotating plate 20 rotates synchronously with the second rotating plate 22 through the connecting rod 24. Under the limitation of the arc groove 26 on the probe 10, the probe 10 is displaced in the through groove 16 along the diameter direction of the inner cylinder 14, thereby adjusting the distance between the probes 10 so that the diameter of the circle enclosed between the probes 10 is larger than the diameter of the explosion-proof valve 34 and smaller than the diameter of the sealing ring, thereby preventing the probe 10 from contacting the explosion-proof valve 34 or the sealing rubber ring 38. Then, the first rotating plate 20 is pressed so that the protrusion 28 is inserted into the annular groove, thereby increasing the friction force and preventing the first rotating plate 22 from rotating. The gaps between adjacent probes 10 are also larger, and it is easy to align the gaps with the injection port 36 during the test.

[0039] Embodiment 2: Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, for a square battery, the cross section of the probe 10 is rectangular, which can better adapt to the square battery.
