In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

[0036] The technical solution of the utility model is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a wire splitting device is provided for voltage testing of a battery module. The battery module includes a plurality of battery cells, each of which is provided with a voltage line. The wire splitting device includes a junction box 100 and a wire stripping mechanism. A plurality of first wiring units 1 electrically connected to the voltage line are provided at the first end of the junction box 100. The plurality of first wiring units 1 are isolated and arranged. The first wiring units 1 are connected to the voltage line in a one-to-one correspondence to avoid short circuit caused by contact between adjacent voltage lines. A plurality of second wiring units 2 electrically connected to a charge and discharge tester are provided at the second end of the junction box 100. The plurality of second wiring units 2 are isolated and arranged. Each second wiring unit 2 is individually connected to a wire of the charge and discharge tester. To avoid short circuit of the wires of the charge and discharge tester, the first wiring unit 1 and the second wiring unit 2 are connected one by one. The battery module can be electrically connected to the charge and discharge tester through the first wiring unit 1 and the second wiring unit 2. The branching device serves as an intermediate medium for electrically connecting the voltage line and the charge and discharge tester. The junction box 100 is made of PC plastic or ABS plastic and other materials with good insulation and flame retardant properties. The junction box 100 is used to separate each first wiring unit 1 and each second wiring unit 2, thereby improving the insulation performance of the branching device and ensuring that one first wiring unit 1 is electrically connected to one second wiring unit 2, thereby avoiding line short circuit affecting the voltage test result.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 The wire stripping mechanism is arranged on the first wiring unit 1, and the wire stripping mechanism includes a fixing member 31 and a cutting member 32. The fixing member 31 can be pressed against the outer periphery of the voltage line to fix the voltage line, and the cutting member 32 can cut the insulation layer of the voltage line to strip off the insulation layer of the voltage line, so that the copper wire at the connection of the voltage line is exposed, and the copper wire of the voltage line contacts the first wiring unit 1, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the voltage line and the first wiring unit 1.

[0039] Exemplarily, the first wiring unit 1 includes a conductive block 11, an insulating pressure plate 12 and a fastener 13. A pressure line cavity for inserting a copper conductor of a voltage line is provided between the conductive block 11 and the insulating pressure plate 12. The fastener 13 is passed through the insulating pressure plate 12 and is threadedly connected to the conductive block 11. The connection depth between the fastener 13 and the conductive block 11 is adjustable. The fastener 13 is connected to the insulating pressure plate 12. The fastener 13 can drive the insulating pressure plate 12 to move toward the conductive block 11 to press the copper conductor of the voltage line against the conductive block 11. The conductive block 11 is made of conductive materials such as copper or iron, and the insulating pressure plate 12 is made of insulating materials such as PC plastic or ABS plastic. The insulating pressure plate 12 is made of good and flame-retardant materials. When the copper conductor of the voltage line is inserted into the wire pressing cavity, the fastener 13 is rotated to adjust the connection depth between the fastener 13 and the conductive block 11. The fastener 13 drives the insulating pressure plate 12 to move toward the copper conductor of the voltage line until the copper conductor of the voltage line is pressed against the conductive block 11, thereby realizing electrical connection between the voltage line and the first wiring unit 1. At the same time, the insulating pressure plate 12 can fix the position of the voltage line to avoid deviation of the voltage line during the voltage test and ensure good contact between the voltage line and the conductive block 11. The insulating pressure plate 12 can also prevent the copper conductor of the voltage line from being exposed at the outer end to avoid contact by operators during the test, thereby improving the safety performance of the line splitter.

[0040] Furthermore, the fastener 13 is a fastening screw, which is made of a material with good insulation and flame retardancy such as PC plastic or ABS plastic. The operator can tighten the fastening screw with a wrench to increase the pressure of the insulating pressure plate 12 on the copper conductor of the voltage line, thereby further improving the connection strength between the voltage line and the first wiring unit 1. The fastener 13 can also play an insulating and flame retardant role, thereby further improving the safety performance of the line distribution device.

[0041] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the first wiring unit 1 is provided with a wire stripping groove 14, which is connected to the wire pressing cavity, and the fixing member 31 and the cutting member 32 are arranged at intervals along any side wall of the wire stripping groove 14. The fixing member 31 and the cutting member 32 can both extend and retract along the other side wall of the wire stripping groove 14 to press the voltage line against the side wall of the wire stripping groove 14 and cut the insulation layer of the voltage line.

[0042] Furthermore, a wire accommodating groove 15 is provided on the side wall of the wire stripping groove 14 away from the cutting piece 32, and the wire accommodating groove 15 is connected to the wire pressing cavity. The fixing piece 31 can press the voltage line against the side wall of the wire stripping groove 14, and at the same time, the cutting piece 32 pushes the connecting end of the voltage line to be embedded in the wire accommodating groove 15. When the outer periphery of the voltage line abuts against the side wall of the wire accommodating groove 15, the cutting piece 32 cuts the insulating layer of the voltage line. The fixing piece 31 can fix the position of the voltage line to prevent the voltage line from shifting during the cutting process. The wire accommodating groove 15 can prevent the cutting piece 32 from completely cutting off the voltage line, thereby ensuring that the cutting piece 32 can only cut the insulating layer of the voltage line.

[0043] Furthermore, the cutting member 32 and the fixing member 31 can be completely hidden in the wire stripping box when retracted, so as to prevent the cutting member 32 from scratching the insulation layer of the voltage line or scratching the operator.

[0044] Exemplarily, the wire stripping mechanism further includes a fixing control button 33 and a cutting control button 34, wherein the fixing control button 33 can control the extension and retraction of the fixing member 31, and the cutting control button 34 can control the extension and retraction of the cutting member 32. In actual use, the connection end of the voltage line is placed in the wire stripping groove 14, the fixing control button 33 is pressed to drive the fixing member 31 to extend toward the voltage line, and the voltage line is pressed against the side wall of the wire stripping groove 14, the cutting control button 34 is pressed to drive the cutting member 32 to extend toward the voltage line, and the insulation layer of the voltage line is cut, the fixing control button 33 and the cutting control button 34 are pressed to retract the fixing member 31 and the cutting member 32, the voltage line is rotated to cut the insulation layer on the other side, and after stripping the insulation layer, the exposed copper wire of the voltage line is inserted into the wire pressing cavity, the fastener 13 is twisted to drive the insulating pressing plate 12 to press against the copper wire of the voltage line, and the fastener 13 is tightened to complete the fixed connection between the voltage line and the first wiring unit 1, simplifying the wire stripping process, and no need for the operator to use wire stripping pliers to perform the wire stripping operation, which is simple and convenient to operate and more efficient.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the second wiring unit 2 includes a conductive rod 21 and an insulating spacer 22. The conductive rod 21 is electrically connected to the conductive block 11. The insulating spacer 22 is used to isolate adjacent conductive rods 21. The insulating spacer 22 is made of PC plastic or ABS plastic or other materials with good insulation and flame retardancy.

[0046] In this embodiment, a crocodile clip is provided at the connection end of the lead of the charge and discharge tester. The crocodile clip is clamped on the outer circumference of the conductive rod 21 to complete the electrical connection between the charge and discharge tester and the second wiring unit 2 .

[0047] In other embodiments, the copper wire of the charge and discharge tester wire may be wound around the conductive rod 21 by stripping off the insulation layer of the charge and discharge tester wire.

[0048] Exemplarily, the insulating spacer 22 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the conductive rod 21 and is connected to the junction box 100. The insulating spacer 22 is provided with a wiring cavity for inserting the alligator clip of the charge and discharge tester. Furthermore, the length of the insulating spacer 22 is greater than the length of the conductive rod 21, so that the conductive part of the alligator clip can be completely hidden in the insulating spacer 22, thereby increasing the insulation performance of the line splitter and preventing the alligator clips from contacting each other and affecting the test results. At the same time, it also prevents the operator from contacting the conductive part during the voltage test, thereby improving the safety performance of the line splitter.

[0049] In other embodiments, the insulating spacer 22 is configured as a plate-shaped structure, the insulating spacer 22 is disposed between two adjacent conductive bars 21 , and the insulating spacer 22 is connected to the junction box 100 .

[0050] In addition, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention is described in more detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include more other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
