[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a winding core in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, and reference Figures 2 to 4 An embodiment of the utility model provides a battery wire management device 200, including a first driving component 210, a brush head 220 and a first workbench 230, wherein the first workbench 230 is provided with a first station 231 for placing the battery 100; the first driving component 210 is arranged on the first workbench 230, and the output part of the first driving component 210 is connected to the brush head 220, and is used to drive the brush head 220 to rotate around a horizontal axis; the brush head 220 is arranged above the first station 231, and the brush head 220 extends along the horizontal axis.

[0028] In this embodiment, the brush head 220 is driven to rotate by the first driving component 210, and the bristles on the rotating brush head 220 contact the wires 110 entangled with the battery 100 and push the wires 110 to straighten and separate them, thereby reducing the number of operators, improving production efficiency, and further improving the efficiency of comprehensive performance testing.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the cable management device 200 further includes a clamp 300, which is disposed within the first station 231 and is used to secure the battery 100 to protect the appearance of the battery 100. Specifically, the clamp 300 is provided with a battery slot 310 and a wire slot 320. The wire slot 320 is connected to the battery slot 310 in the longitudinal direction of the battery slot 310, and the width of the wire slot 320 is smaller than the width of the battery slot 310. Because the width of the wire slot 320 is smaller than the width of the battery slot 310, the groove wall of the wire slot 320 can restrain the battery 100, preventing the battery 100 from shaking within the battery slot 310.

[0030] Furthermore, two protrusions 330 are provided on the clamp 300, and the protrusions 330 are located at one end of the wire groove 320 away from the battery groove 310; the two protrusions 330 are spaced apart along the width direction of the wire groove 320 to separate the wire groove 320 into three wire sub-grooves 321.

[0031] In this embodiment, the protrusion 330 is provided to separate the end of the wire trough 320 away from the battery trough 310 into three wire sub-troughs 321 to accommodate and confine the wires 110 of the battery 100 (including the positive wire, the negative wire, and the temperature detection wire). Furthermore, the end of the wire trough 320 near the battery trough 310 remains a single, slot-like structure, allowing the intertwined wires 110 to be placed together within the wire trough 320. As the brush head 220 rotates, the positive wire, the negative wire, and the temperature detection wire are gradually separated and straightened, causing the end away from the battery 100 to fall into the wire sub-trough 321. The wire sheaths of the straightened wires 110 remain within the wire trough 320, with the bare wires extending out of the wire sub-trough 321.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, a clamping groove 340 is further provided on the clamp 300. The clamping groove 340 is arranged on both sides of the battery slot 310 and is connected to the battery slot 310, so that when in use, the mechanical claw or the user's hand can reach into the clamping groove 340 to take out the battery 100, thereby improving the convenience and user experience of the cable management device 200.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, the wire management device 200 further includes a second driving component 240, which is fixed on the first workbench 230, and the output portion of the second driving component 240 is connected to the first driving component 210 for driving the first driving component 210 to reciprocate vertically.

[0034] In this embodiment, the second driving component 240 drives the first driving component 210 and the brush head 220 to move in the vertical direction, so that the brush head 220 contacts the wire 110 of the battery 100; then the first driving component 210 drives the brush head 220 to rotate, and the bristles on the rotating brush head 220 contact the wire 110 and push the wire 110 to straighten and separate it, thereby improving production efficiency and improving the efficiency of comprehensive performance testing.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, the brush head 220 is cylindrical in shape, and a cylindrical brush structure 221 is fixedly disposed on the outer circumference of the brush head 220. The brush structure 221 is made of an antistatic material. The rotating brush head 220 drives the brush structure 221 into contact with the wire 110, pushing the wire 110, straightening and separating it. Because the brush structure 221 is made of an antistatic material, static electricity generated during the straightening process of the wire 110 can be avoided, which could affect the detection and use of the battery 100.

[0036] like Figure 3As shown, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a battery detection device, including a detection device 400 and a moving device such as the wire management device 200 in any of the above embodiments, so as to have all the effects of the wire management device 200; the moving device is used to move the battery 100 at the wire management device 200 to the detection end 410 of the detection device 400, and the detection device 400 is used to detect the battery 100.

[0037] During use, after the wires 110 of the battery 100 are straightened and separated by the wire management device 200, the battery 100 is transferred together with the clamp 300 to the detection end 410 of the detection device 400 for detection by a robotic arm or manually. Since the battery 100 is always located in the clamp 300, the damage to the battery 100 during the transfer process can be reduced, and the appearance defect rate of the battery 100 can be reduced.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, the testing apparatus further includes a second workbench 600, which is located on one side of the first workbench 230. The testing device 400 is disposed on one side of the second workbench 600. The testing device 400 has a second station 420 for accommodating the fixture 300. The second station 420 abuts against the testing end 410 of the testing device 400, thereby allowing the wire 110 of the battery 100 in the fixture 300 in the second station 420 to contact the testing end 410 and undergo testing. Because the wire sheath of the wire 110 is always located in the wire groove 320, the bare wire extends out of the wire sub-groove 321, thereby avoiding wire sheath interference.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the detection device 400 includes a cylinder 440 and a detection terminal 410 disposed at the output end of the cylinder 440. The cylinder 440 is fixed to the second workbench 600 and is configured to output vertical reciprocating motion. The second workbench 600 is also provided with a stop block 430, which includes three sequentially spaced and insulated stop blocks 431. The detection terminal 410 includes three sequentially spaced and insulated detection heads 411, each detection head 411 corresponding to a stop block 431. When the fixture 300 is located in the second workstation 420, the positive lead, the negative lead, and the temperature detection line are respectively located on a stop block 431. The cylinder 440 controls the movement of the detection terminal 410 so that each detection head 411 and a stop block 431 clamp a wire 110, thereby making the detection head 411 contact and electrically connect with the wire 110 for detection.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the testing device further includes a discharge mechanism 500, which is used to remove the battery 100 from the fixture 300. The discharge mechanism 500 includes a conveyor belt 510 and a gripper 520. The conveyor belt 510 is disposed on one side of the testing device 400 and located at an end of the second workbench 600 away from the first workbench 230. The conveyor belt 510 is used to transport the battery 100; the gripper 520 is used to grab and transfer the battery 100 between the fixture 300 and the conveyor belt 510.

[0041] During use, after the battery 100 is inspected by the inspection device 400, the battery 100 is transferred together with the fixture 300 to the second workbench 600 close to one end of the conveyor belt 510 by a robotic arm or manually, and the battery 100 in the fixture 300 is grabbed by the gripper 520 and transferred to the conveyor belt 510. The fixture 300 is transferred in the other direction by a robotic arm or manually to the feeding station to install the battery 100.

[0042] The embodiments described above are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
