[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0030] In order to solve the problem that the probe cannot be effectively pressed after the battery chip in the prior art is offset, resulting in poor accuracy of the test results, the present utility model provides a test device.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the test device is used for performing performance tests on battery chips. The test device includes a support base 10, a cantilever beam 20, and a bearing structure 30. Among them, the cantilever beam 20 is arranged on the support base 10; the bearing structure 30 is used for bearing a probe row 40, and the bearing structure 30 is arranged on the cantilever beam 20 in an angle-adjustable manner. The bearing structure 30 drives the probe row 40 to rotate so that each probe 41 of the probe row 40 is aligned with the main grid line of the battery chip.

[0032] Applying the technical solution of the present utility model, by arranging the bearing structure 30 on the cantilever beam 20 in an angle-adjustable manner, in this way, before performing performance tests on the battery chip, for the offset battery chip, the bearing structure 30 drives the probe row 40 to rotate, so that each probe of the probe row 40 is aligned with the main grid line of the battery chip, ensuring the crimping reliability between each probe and the main grid line of the battery chip, and thus ensuring the accuracy of the subsequent performance tests of the battery chip.

[0033] It should be noted that in the present application, considering that the battery chip is prone to offset in the horizontal plane when placed, preferably, the rotation axis of the bearing structure 30 extends in the vertical direction so that the bearing structure 30 rotates in the horizontal plane. In this way, it is ensured that the bearing structure 30 generates a corresponding offset in the horizontal plane for the offset of the battery chip.

[0034] It should be noted that in the present application, the test device further includes a photographing device, a processor, and a driving part 60. Among them, the photographing device is arranged on the support base 10 and is located above the bearing structure 30. The photographing device is used for photographing the actual position of the battery chip. The processor is used for determining the rotation angle of the bearing structure 30 according to the offset information between the actual position and the preset position of the battery chip; the driving part 60 is in signal connection with the processor, and the driving part 60 is in driving connection with the bearing structure 30. The driving part 60 is used for controlling the bearing structure 30 to rotate by the rotation angle according to the rotation angle. In this way, the degree of intelligence of the test device is greatly improved.

[0035] It should be noted that in a preferred embodiment of the present application, the "angle-adjustable of the bearing structure 30" in the above-mentioned "the bearing structure 30 is arranged on the cantilever beam 20 in an angle-adjustable manner" is realized by the driving of the driving part 60.

[0036] As Figure 4As shown, the driving part 60 includes a driving motor 61, a first bevel gear structure 62 and a second bevel gear structure 63. Among them, the driving shaft 611 of the driving motor 61 extends horizontally; the driving shaft 611 is drivingly connected to the first bevel gear structure 62; the second bevel gear structure 63 is meshed and cooperated with the first bevel gear structure 62, and the second bevel gear structure 63 is drivingly connected to the bearing structure 30 through a vertically arranged transmission shaft 631.

[0037] Further, the driving part 60 drives the bearing structure 30 to rotate to a preset position along a first direction, and the driving part 60 can also drive the bearing structure 30 to rotate to an initial position along a second direction opposite to the first direction.

[0038] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first direction can be Figure 4 clockwise (counterclockwise) rotation in Figure 4 and the above-mentioned second direction can be

[0039] counterclockwise (clockwise) rotation in

[0040] It should be noted that in the present application, the cantilever beam 20 is slidably arranged on the support base 10 in the vertical direction.

[0041] As Figure 1 shown, the number of the cantilever beams 20 is two, and at least one of the two cantilever beams 20 is slidably arranged on the support base 10; the number of the bearing structures 30 is two, and the angles of the two bearing structures 30 are both adjustably arranged on the corresponding two cantilever beams 20, and the two bearing structures 30 are arranged oppositely to form a test area 100 between the two bearing structures 30; the testing device further includes a conveying mechanism 50, and the conveying mechanism 50 is used for transporting the battery cells to the test area 100. As a possible situation, the conveying mechanism 50 has a suction cup structure 51, and the suction cup structure 51 is used for carrying and adsorbing the battery cells to be tested and transporting the battery cells to the test area 100.

[0042] It can be understood that by the structural form of slidably arranging at least one of the two cantilever beams 20 on the support base 10, it is convenient to adjust the spatial size of the test area 100 formed between the two in the vertical direction.

[0043] As Figure 2As shown, the conveying mechanism 50 includes a rotating body 52 and a support arm 53. Among them, the rotating body 52 is rotatably arranged; the first end of the support arm 53 is connected to the rotating body 52, and the second end of the support arm 53 has a suction cup structure 51. The rotating body 52 rotates and drives the suction cup structure 51 to rotate into and out of the test area 100 through the support arm 53. In this way, while ensuring that the overall structure of the conveying mechanism 50 is simple and compact, it can also ensure the conveying reliability of the conveying mechanism 50 for the battery wafers.

In this way, by setting the carrying structure 30 into a structural form including a rotating disk body 31 and a fixture structure 32, while ensuring the connection reliability between the rotating disk body 31 and the cantilever beam 20, it can also ensure the rotation reliability of the rotating disk body 31 relative to the cantilever beam 20, and the setting of the fixture structure 32 ensures the installation reliability of the probe row 40.

[0045] As a possible way, the rotating disk body 31 is detachably connected to the fixture structure 32. In this way, it ensures the installation and disassembly reliability between the rotating disk body 31 and the fixture structure 32.

[0046] As Figure 1 shown, the fixture structure 32 has a first guiding chute 321, and the carrying structure 30 has a first limiting protrusion at a position opposite to the first guiding chute 321. The carrying structure 30 is detachably connected to the fixture structure 32 through the cooperation of the first limiting protrusion and the first guiding chute 321. In this way, while ensuring the assembly convenience between the carrying structure 30 and the fixture structure 32, it ensures the assembly stability between the two.
