The number of convex plates 8 on the rear side of the circular plate 7 is also eight. The rotation angle of the turntable 3, the number of convex plates 8, and the number of material clamping grooves correspond one by one, so that each time the turntable 3 rotates, the convex plate 8 can squeeze the first circuit board 4 to move backward, realizing the automatic test function of the battery voltage.

It usually includes a stable platform or bracket, and a precise weight measuring device, such as an electronic scale or a weighing sensor, and is usually used for quality control during the production process to ensure that the weight of the battery meets the requirements.

[0029] As Figure 3 shown, a base 10 is fixedly installed on the rear inner wall of the storage frame 1. Circular rods are slidably installed at the four corners on the front side of the base 10. The front ends of a plurality of circular rods are fixedly installed with the same square plate 11. The first circuit board 4 is fixedly connected to the square plate 11 by bolts. A plurality of return springs 12 are fixedly connected between the square plate 11 and the base 10, playing a role in guiding and resetting the forward and backward movements of the square plate 11 and the first circuit board 4.

The installation plate is fixedly connected to the storage frame 1 by bolts, providing stable support for the entire device.

[0031] As Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a first channel 13, a second channel 14, and a third channel 15 are fixedly installed on the top of the main board 24. The third channel 15 is located in the middle of the main board 24, and the first channel 13 and the second channel 14 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the third channel 15. Batteries with different test results are collected through the first channel 13, the second channel 14, and the third channel 15 respectively.

[0032] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the arc-shaped plate 9 includes an upper half and a lower half. The middle section plate 16 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the upper half, and one side of the middle section plate 16 is movably abutted against the top of the lower half. A first electric push rod 17 is fixedly installed on the rear inner wall of the storage frame 1. One end of the first electric push rod 17 is rotatably installed with a connecting plate 18, and one side of the connecting plate 18 is rotatably connected to the middle section plate 16.

[0033] As Figure 5 shown, the first circuit board 4 and the second circuit board 5 are connected to the same device for measuring the battery voltage. A first controller is arranged in the storage frame 1. The first controller is respectively connected to the device for measuring the battery voltage and the first electric push rod 17, and information feedback can be carried out; the middle section plate 16 is driven to swing through the cooperation of the first electric push rod 17 and the connecting plate 18, so as to control the opening and closing of the arc-shaped plate 9.

[0034] As Figure 2 shown, a second electric push rod 19 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the storage frame 1. A push plate 20 is fixedly installed at the front end of the second electric push rod 19. A through hole is formed in the rear side of the storage frame 1. The front side of the push plate 20 extends into the through hole. The push plate 20 is adapted to the material clamping groove, and the qualified battery is pushed forward.

[0035] As Figure 1 shown, a plastic baffle 22 is fixedly installed on the front side of the storage frame 1. A first external connection hole and a second external connection hole are formed in the front side of the plastic baffle 22. The first external connection hole is adapted to the square plate 11 and the first circuit board 4, and the second external connection hole is adapted to the push plate 20. The front end of the round shaft penetrates through the plastic baffle 22, and the battery is limited by the plastic baffle 22. The plastic baffle 22 is made of a transparent material, which is convenient for observing the movement of the battery.

[0036] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: The battery is placed into the storage frame 1 from above the storage frame 1. When placing, all the batteries need to have their positive electrodes facing backward. Under the guidance of the guiding plate 2, the batteries roll into the corresponding material clamping grooves. The servo motor 21 is started, and the output shaft of the servo motor 21 drives the turntable 3 to rotate clockwise at intervals, thereby driving the batteries in the material clamping grooves to rotate clockwise at intervals. The turntable 3 drives the circular plate 7 to rotate synchronously. When the battery moves into the material clamping groove at the rightmost side of the turntable 3, at this time, the turntable 3 remains stationary during the interval period. The convex plate 8 on the circular plate 7 presses the first circuit board 4 to drive the first circuit board 4 to move backward, so that the positive and negative electrodes of the battery respectively abut against the electrode contacts 6 on the first circuit board 4 and the second circuit board 5, realizing the voltage test of the battery. The device for measuring the battery voltage starts the first electric push rod 17 according to the result of the voltage test through cooperation with the controller. When the battery voltage test fails to meet the standard, the first electric push rod 17 drives the connecting plate 18 to move to the right, thereby driving the middle section plate 16 to swing downward. As the turntable 3 continues to rotate clockwise, the battery slides down from the arc-shaped plate 9 into the first channel 13. The first electric push rod 17 resets. The batteries with qualified voltage will move to the bottom of the turntable 3 along with the turntable 3 and then fall onto the measuring table. When the weight is qualified, the second electric push rod 19 drives the push plate 20 to move forward, pushing the battery into the third channel 15. The batteries with unqualified weight will continue to rotate with the turntable 3 and fall into the second channel 14, realizing the automatic sorting function of the batteries.
