Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tooling fixtures for battery detection, in particular to a battery fixture. Background Art
[0002] For lithium-ion batteries, the length of cycle life is a major criterion for judging the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Under specific working conditions, the longer the cycle life, the better the battery quality. Battery deformation is a common phenomenon in the process of battery charge and discharge cycles. The main factors causing deformation are the following two points:
[0003] 1. The pole piece inside the battery will expand during the charging and discharging process, causing the thickness of the bare battery inside the battery to increase, which in turn causes the battery to deform;
[0004] 2. During the battery cycle, side reactions will occur, accompanied by the generation of gas, which will increase the internal gas pressure of the battery, and then cause the battery shell to deform. Battery deformation is a major factor in the deterioration of battery cycle performance. At the same time, battery deformation also poses a safety hazard. During the charge and discharge cycle test of lithium-ion batteries, it is usually necessary to apply a clamp force to the battery cell to avoid battery deformation and obtain better cycle performance. However, the application of the clamp is usually manual, and it is difficult to ensure the parallelism of the battery cell or it takes a lot of installation time to ensure the parallelism of the battery cell installation, which is very inconvenient.
[0005] Therefore, how to ensure the parallelism of battery cells in a simple manner during the test process is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, the temperature detection portion is arranged in a groove shape to cooperate with the battery surface to form a temperature detection hole.
[0010] Furthermore, the temperature detection portion extends from the edge of the end plate toward the center and extends into the battery clamping area.

[0019] Now the utility model is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the utility model.
[0020] See also Figure 1 Combined with Figure 3 The utility model provides a battery clamp, comprising: a fastener 4; and two end plates 1 for clamping a battery 5; the end plates 1 are made of stainless steel, aluminum or heat-resistant resin. At least three mounting holes 3 are respectively arranged on the edge of each end plate 1, and the fastener 4 passes through the mounting holes 3, so that a battery clamping parallel position 2 is formed between the clamping surfaces 12 of the two end plates 1.
[0021] The end plate 1 is triangular or rectangular, and there are three mounting holes 3 to form a triangular layout. The end plate 1 is rectangular, and there are four mounting holes 3, corresponding to each end corner of the rectangle. The clamping surface 12 of any end plate 1 is provided with a positioning recess 11 adapted to the battery contour. Since the lithium-ion battery usually needs to monitor the temperature of the large surface of the battery during the charge and discharge cycle test, however, due to the application of the clamp, the large surface of the battery cell is covered by the battery clamp, which increases the difficulty of temperature monitoring there. Therefore, a temperature detection portion 13 is provided on one end plate 1, and a temperature detection portion 13 is provided on the clamping surface 12 of the other end plate 1. The length of the temperature detection hole is 1 / 3-2 / 3 of the width of the right end plate 2. The temperature detection portion 13 is a groove-shaped setting to cooperate with the battery surface to form a temperature detection hole. The temperature detection portion 13 extends from the edge of the end plate 1 to the center and extends into the battery clamping area. The groove-shaped cross-section of the temperature detection portion 13 is semicircular, rectangular or trapezoidal.
[0022] During the installation process, the battery 5 can be fixed and positioned in advance by the positioning recess 11, which reduces the time for manual proofreading, improves the parallelism of the battery cell installation, and can effectively avoid the positional displacement of the battery 5 that may occur during subsequent charge and discharge cycles. The depth of the positioning recess 11 is not less than 0.5 mm.
[0023] In summary, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: by setting the positioning recess 11, when the battery 5 is clamped and installed, the battery 5 can be fixed on the end plate 1 in advance through the positioning recess, and then the clamping force is applied, which effectively improves the convenience of the clamp installation and avoids the problems of easy sliding of the battery cell and difficulty in adjusting the parallelism of the battery cell during the installation of the battery cell clamp. A temperature probe hole 31 is set on the side of the end plate 2 of the battery 5 clamp and extends to the center of the end plate. During the battery cell cycle test, a temperature sensing wire can be placed at the position of the temperature probe hole to conveniently obtain the changes in the large surface of the battery cell during the test. At the same time, the position of the temperature probe hole 31 belongs to a semi-enclosed space, which can effectively reduce the influence of the external environment on the temperature test during the temperature test.
[0024] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the utility model, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without deviating from the technical concept of the utility model through the above description. The technical scope of the utility model is not limited to the content of the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
